Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ensure High Protein drink (vanilla or flavor of choice)
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the Ensure High Protein drink and melted butter to the egg, and stir until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
If desired, stir in the honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Using the back of a spoon, gently spread the batter into a uniform circle.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup, if desired.
