5. Heat a pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with your choice of coconut oil or butter.
6. Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto it.
7. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges looking set.

9. Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring you regrease the pan if necessary.

Tips

1. Want a vegan version? Swap out the egg for a flaxseed egg and ensure your protein powder is plant-based.
2. Always mix your batter gently to keep your pancakes fluffy. Overmixing can make them dense.
3. Make sure your pan isn’t too hot. A medium heat ensures even cooking without burning.
4. For added protein, consider adding some Greek yogurt or a nut butter drizzle on top.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy these Red Velvet Protein Pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt or your favorite fruit toppings.
• Drizzle some almond or peanut butter for added protein and flavor.
• For a fresh twist, add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a handful of berries.
• If you’re looking for extra sweetness, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup is always a great choice, but remember to control portions to keep it healthy.
