- 2 scoops protein powder (vanilla whey works great here)
- 1 large organic egg
- 1 tbs extra virgin oilive oil
- coconut oil or cooking spray
Combine the pancake mix, almond milk, protein powder, egg, and olive oil in a bowl and mix throughly until there are no lumps. The batter should be pourable, but not too think; Add more almond milk or mix as needed.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Off heat, spray with a bit of cooking spray. Return to the heat and spoon four portions of batter into the pan to make pancakes about 5 inches in diameter. Cook until bubbles start to form on top. Flip and cook until golden brown.
