Cooking Tips
These pancakes aren’t like regular pancakes. They cook super quick. On medium heat, your first side will be done in about 60 seconds. After you flip it, only 15 or 20 on the other side. Quick. Just make sure you do that. Don’t overcook these if you want the texture and the recipe to be perfect. Watch closely because this all happens quick. You can make these any size you want. Just keep an eye on them. Make sure you don’t overcook them. This can be a little tricky, but with practice, it gets easy. I recommend cooking in batches because everything’s quicker. But feel free to do three at a time. Just make sure you’re quick and you don’t overcook them.
Seriously, folks, you can’t tell me this doesn’t look amazing. In this entire recipe, if you make it exactly how I did it, which I ended up with for the whole thing, there’s only 613 calories with 17 grams of fat, a massive 100 grams of protein, only 15 grams of carbs with no fiber. At breakfast, you could be getting in a massive 100 grams of protein if you make this.
