These taste just like mom used to make-you’d never guess they were low carb.

Yield: 14 “silver dollar” pancakes, each with about 0.6 grams of carbohydrates, no fiber, and 2.5 grams of protein.

INGREDIENTS 

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Spray a heavy skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and ricotta until quite smooth. Whisk in the whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt, only mixing until well combined.
3. Drop batter onto the skillet or griddle by the tablespoonful. When the bubbles on the surface of the pancakes are breaking and staying broken, flip them and cook the other side.
4. Serve with butter and sugar-free syrup, sugar-free jelly, Splenda and cinnamon, or a few mashed berries sweetened with Splenda.
