Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 30 grams Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sweetener of choice
- 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (for greasing ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking tray in the middle rack and lightly grease four 6-ounce ramekins with unsalted butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, and 1 tablespoon of sweetener until smooth. Set aside.
In a large, clean, and dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweetener to the egg whites, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two batches using a spatula, making sure not to deflate the mixture.
Divide the soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full. Smooth the tops with a spatula and run your thumb along the inner edge of each ramekin to help the soufflés rise evenly.
Place the ramekins on the preheated baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and the tops are golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door while baking to prevent them from collapsing.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your low carb, high protein lemon soufflé!
