Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk 6 large egg whites with 1 tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until frothy.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup almond flour, and 1 tsp baking powder.
  3. Step 3: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites, alternating with 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, mixing gently to maintain airiness.
  4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
  5. Step 5: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  6. Step 6: Flip each pancake carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Step 7: Meanwhile, combine 3 tbsp almond butter, 2 tbsp heavy cream, and 1 tbsp erythritol sweetener in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave for 20 seconds and stir until smooth and pourable.
  8. Step 8: Serve the stack of pancakes drizzled generously with the almond butter sauce while warm.
