Salted Caramel Protein Pancakes
by Zach Trowbridge on June 2, 2023
This recipe can be adapted for a conventional offseason, or for a refeed or carb-loading day as a low-fat version. This has been a staple in my high-carb days pretty much ever since Granite Supplements released their salted caramel flavor – it tastes amazing and is easy to prepare in minutes!
Conventional Preparation:
- 60g Granite Supplements protein powder
- 100g King Arthur gluten-free pancake mix (or other pancake mix)
- 1 whole egg
- 1tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
Low-Fat, High-Carb Preparation:
- 60g Granite Supplements protein powder
- 150g King Arthur gluten-free pancake mix (or other pancake mix)
- 246g unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
Pre-heat griddle to 350 degrees, or a skillet to medium heat. Mix protein powder, pancake mix, and all other ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk until well-blended.
Using either a small amount of butter or cooking spray, lubricate the griddle or skillet to prevent sticking. Pour the batter in roughly ½ cup serving sizes (about 4” wide per pancake) and allow to cook on each side for 2-3 minutes – an easy eyeball test is to wait for the bubbles to disappear on top of each pancake when you first pour the batter, then flip and cook an equal amount of time.
Let rest for 2-3 minutes before digging in.
Makes 2 servings.
