🥄
½ scoop (30g) Whey protein powder
🥄
¹⁄₁₆ cup Almond flour
½ tsp Baking powder
¹⁄₁₆ tsp Cinnamon
🥄
¼ dash Salt
½ large Egg
½ tbsp Cream cheese
1 tbsp Flaxseed oil
⅛ tsp Vanilla extract
¼ spray , about 1/3 second Cooking spray

Directions

Prep 10 minCook 15 min

1
Whisk the protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the softened cream cheese until mostly smooth. Add the flaxseed oil and vanilla; whisk until fully combined.
3
Stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until a smooth, thick batter forms. Let it rest 1–2 minutes to hydrate.
4
Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low until hot.
5
Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and gently spread to a 4 1/2-inch circle.
6
Cook until bubbles appear and the top looks set at the edges, then flip and cook until the second side is golden and the center is just set. Adjust heat as needed to prevent over-browning.
7
Repeat with remaining batter and serve warm.
