Joe Duff, known as The Diet Chef, shares his go-to recipe for these pancakes, which are not only high in protein but also low in carbs. You'll love how easy they are to make, thanks to the blender method.
Ingredient notes
- You can use 210 grams of liquid egg substitute or the equivalent of 6 egg whites.
- For the cottage cheese, 226 grams of 1% fat small curd no-salt-added cottage cheese is recommended, but low-fat or nonfat Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
- Coconut flour can be measured as 6 tablespoons, which is 42 grams.
- One scoop of vanilla whey protein powder is about 30 grams.
Tips from Joe Duff - The Diet Chef's video
- Using a food scale for measuring ingredients ensures accuracy, which is key for the best results.
- The batter will be very thick, so a spatula is helpful for mixing everything together in the blender.
- Transferring the thick batter to a smaller bowl makes it easier to pour and cook the pancakes.
