High Protein and Fiber Pancakes

Servings: 2 to 3
Preparation Time: 10 to 15 minutes

• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 coconut flour
• 1 scoop protein powder (I used vanilla whey.)
• 1 teaspoon physillium husk powder (optional; adds fiber)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• dash of salt
• 2 tablespoon turbinado sugar
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg, separated
• 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil

In a medium sized bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients except milk and egg.

Place egg white in a small bowl and set aside. Add your yolk to the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Slowly add milk one tablespoon at a time to the batter, until desired consistency is reached. I used 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons but if you want a thinner batter, you can add up to 1/2 cup.

Whisk the egg white until soft peaks form (about a minute or two). Using a spatula, fold egg whites into your pancake batter.

In a lightly oiled skillet, over medium heat, cook pancakes two at a time for about two minutes per side. Watch carefully to make sure they don't burn.
