High Protein/Low Carb Blueberry Pancakes - Using Dymatize Elite XT Protein Powder

Here's a quick and delicious high protein, low carb blueberry pancake recipe using Dymatize Nutrition's Elite XT protein powder. I used the Blueberry Muffin flavor, but I'm sure any other flavor would be delicious too. It comes in Banana Nut, Rich Chocolate, Rich Vanilla, and Fudge Brownie. (Ummm, Banana Nut and Fudge Brownie pancakes sound devilish).



Ingredients:

Pancake:
1 scoop Dymatize Blueberry Muffin Elite XT - Extended Release Protein Powder
3 egg whites
Pam cooking spray
Baking powder (optional for added fluff)
Water (optional, depending on batter consistency)

Topping:
1/2 cup of Blueberries
Sugar Free Blueberry Syrup

Directions:

Mix all pancake ingredients, except Pam Cooking Spray, in a shaker bottle. Shaker bottles are simple, quick, easy to clean and perfect for pouring the batter into the pan. Meanwhile heat your pan over med to med/high heat. Once hot, spray liberally with PAM, then pour 1/3 of the batter into pan. Flip as soon as the bottom of the pancake is hard enough to flip. Once flipped, it will literally only take a second or two for that side of pancake to cook. (I actually skip this step as it will harden while cooling). Repeat 2 more times, making sure to apply more PAM each time. Batter should make 3 pancakes in 8 inch pan. In the picture I used 6 egg whites and 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder to make 3 pancakes in a 10 inch pan.

Cover with Sugar Free Blueberry Syrup for the low carbers. Or cover with Blueberry Compote if you're not too worried about carbs.

Compote Directions:
Place 1/2 cup of blueberries in your pan while still hot, turn to high for quicker cooking. Stir consistently. Add PAM if needed. Cook until desired consistency. Pour over pancake stack.

Option: I put the Sugar Free Syrup between each layer of pancake then top the stack with the blueberry compote.
