Quick and Easy Protein Pancake Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond meal or flour (we used Trader Joe’s “Just Almond Meal”)
- 2 duck eggs* (or 3 chicken eggs)
- 3 tbs coconut oil, melted – 2 in the batter and 1 on the pan (preferably unrefined from a glass jar)
- Dash of sea salt
Blend all ingredients together and spoon onto a low/medium pan, cook each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Yields about 6 small pancakes (about 2 servings).
Topping Options: grass fed butter, grade B maple syrup, fruit, cinnamon, nuts, peanut butter, jam
This is a great healthy breakfast because it’s quick and each serving (about 3 pancakes) has about 24 grams of protein. This is a nice high amount that’s great for stabilizing blood sugar.
Stabilizing blood sugar helps support energy, mood, adrenal function, weight loss, and healthy digestion.
Like Rebecca said in the video, for people who need more protein and fat this is a great meal. For those who do well with carbs, adding syrup or fruit is a great way to sweeten up this dish.
Since this meal is gluten free and dairy free, I recommend it for many of my patients who are sensitive to these foods. Additionally, using duck eggs is helpful for those who may not tolerate chicken eggs.
