Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Add egg whites, blueberries, oats, vanilla protein powder, stevia, baking powder, and water to a blender. (I use a NutriBullet). Blend together until smooth.
    3 egg whites, 2 ½ tablespoons blueberries, ¼ cup water, ½ cup rolled oats, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon stevia in the raw, ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Heat a small frying pan on the stove over medium heat and coat it with a little cooking spray.

  • Once the pan is hot, pour in the pancake batter until it covers the pan in a thin layer, tilting the pan so the batter covers it evenly.
  • Cook each pancake for about one minute until the edges start to brown and you see air bubbles form on the surface of the pancake batter. Flip the pancake and cook for another minute or until it's fully cooked. Then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Repeat the process until you’ve used all the batter.
  • Drizzle a little sugar-free syrup on top and serve with fresh berries.
    toppings like sugar-free syrup, berries, or chocolate chips

Notes

This recipe is for 2 servings with 2 pancakes per serving.
Helpful tips: Depending on your protein powder, you may need to adjust the water to thin out the batter. If you prefer more low-carb pancakes, reduce the oats by up to a third but not more than that as the batter will become too thin to cook.
Variations: Substitute vanilla protein powder with other flavors like chocolate protein powder. Use other low-carb berries like raspberries and strawberries instead of blueberries.
Serving suggestion: Drizzle with sugar-free syrup and top with fresh berries.
Storage: Pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and reheated in the microwave. Let pancakes cool completely before putting them in the fridge. Otherwise, the condensation will make them soggy.
