Description

These High Protein Mini Pancakes are fluffy, light, and packed with protein from egg whites. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack, they are simple to make using just a few ingredients and baked to a delicate finish. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar, fresh berries, or maple syrup for a delicious start to your day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 250 ml egg whites
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the mini pancakes.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or a stand mixer, add the egg whites along with the vanilla bean paste if using.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: Mix the egg whites on high speed for 5–7 minutes until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be thick, glossy, and hold its shape well.
  4. Test Peaks: Turn the bowl upside down carefully; the egg whites should remain in place without sliding out, indicating they’re whipped enough.
  5. Prepare Tin: Lightly spray a silicone muffin tin with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Alternatively, line a baking sheet and spray it well.
  6. Portion Mixture: Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, spoon dollops of the egg white mixture into each muffin slot or onto the lined baking sheet if not using the tin.
  7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Once baked, gently run a butter knife around each mini pancake to loosen them.
  8. Cool & Serve: Either enjoy immediately or transfer to a wire rack for a few minutes to cool slightly and avoid steaming.
  9. Add Toppings: Dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle fresh berries, or drizzle maple syrup before serving. Note that toppings are optional and not included in calorie counts.

Notes

  • Using a silicone muffin tin helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • You can also bake the pancakes as dollops on a lined baking sheet instead of in muffin tins.
  • Ensure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for best texture and shape retention.
  • Serve immediately or slightly cooled to avoid sogginess from steam.
  • Toppings like powdered sugar, berries, and syrup add flavor but increase calorie content.
