¼ tsp. ginger (less if you want a less prominent taste)
1 tbsp. granulated sweetener
1 tsp. baking powder
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
6 tbsp. milk (any milk is fine)
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
⅛ tsp. maple extract (more or less to taste)
Topping
coconut oil
½ large pear
1 tbsp. pure maple syrup
cinnamon to taste
Instructions
Preheat pan or griddle to medium/high heat. In a bowl, mix together flour, protein powder, cinnamon, ginger, sweetener, and baking powder. Add one egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract. Gently stir together until combined.
In a separate bowl, add three egg whites. Whisk with a hand mixer until stiff peaks. Add egg whites to pancake batter. Gently fold egg whites into batter. Be careful not to overtax or the egg whites will lose their volume and fluffiness.
Spoon batter evenly onto preheated griddle to make about 6 medium sized pancakes. Cook for a few minutes or until the middles of the pancakes start to bubble then flip. Cook for another few minutes on the other side.
