Yummy

Makes about four reasonably sized pancakes, enough for two meals portioned.

Dry bowl

CarbQuik: 80 g
Kirkland chocolate whey (isolate/concentrate) protein powder: 60 g
Psyllium husk powder (fine): 5 g
Baking powder: 6 g
Cinnamon: 2 g
Cacao nibs: 20 g I stepped this up...serving size is 30g

Wet bowl

Eggs: 2 large
Greek yogurt (plain, 2%–5%): 120 g 150g cup I've been using non fat, might switch to add fat to diet
Unsweetened almond milk: 180 g (start here; you can add more to thin) started 130g
Vanilla extract: 4 g this feels high shit costs should have noted real not fake

Method (one bowl wet → into dry)

Heat a non-stick pan over medium. Lightly film with ghee. Good plan keep this use fingers.
Whisk wet bowl until smooth.
In the dry bowl, whisk to evenly distribute psyllium/baking powder.
Pour wet into dry and whisk just to combine. Rest 3–5 min so psyllium hydrates.
- If batter is too thick, add almond milk 15–25 g at a time to reach a thick-pour consistency. Batter came out just right at 130g so pow AI sucks.
Cook ~¼ cup (≈60–70 g) portions. Flip when edges set and bubbles stay open (≈2–3 min/side). Patience. Sabr for pancakes. When they're ready they're ready.
Re-grease pan with a touch of ghee between batches if needed. Serve hot. Wasn't needed but nice didn't see this. Made four pancakes in the smaller nonstick pan. Ate two hot put the other two in a plastic Ziploc I'm the fridge. Will hit tomorrow with eggs no fuss. Clean up not so bad. Keep this in rotation we have plenty of CarbQuik though we'll run out of eggs.

Tweaks

More lift: bump baking powder to 8 g if you like extra fluffy.
Sweeter: add 6–8 g sugar or a dash of your preferred sweetener to the dry bowl. Monkfruit in reserve, not needed.
Blueberry throwback: fold in 80–100 g frozen blueberries (still frozen) instead of nibs.

Enjoy the crunch from the nibs with that chocolate whey—perfect. It was just a bit of crunch. Didn't hate it. Store this separately. this be that ~ JR
