Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh berries
- maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until frothy.
Add the almond milk to the egg mixture and continue whisking until well combined.
Sift in the vanilla protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, then whisk again until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Place the butter in a 10-inch (25 cm) ovenproof skillet or baking dish, and heat in the oven until the butter is melted and sizzling, about 3 minutes.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and immediately pour the batter into the hot butter.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve the German pancake warm, topped with Greek yogurt and fresh berries. Drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
