Protein pancakes: quantities, preparation and nutrition
When using a powder mix, check the quantities carefully. Tablespoons and measuring scoops are not automatically interchangeable. The German label for Protein Bake Mix 480 g specifies 24 g powder, or three tablespoons, per pancake.
Ingredients for one pancake
- 24 g Protein Bake Mix
- 30 ml semi-skimmed milk with 1.5% fat, or 30 ml water
The label equates 30 ml liquid to two tablespoons. The pack provides 20 portions of 24 g powder. Milk, water and extra toppings are not included.
Step-by-step preparation
- Preheat a non-stick pan over a low heat.
- Combine the powder and your chosen liquid.
- Pour the batter into the centre of the pan and spread it.
- Cook over a low heat for two to three minutes until golden underneath.
- Turn and cook the other side.
The label does not instruct you to boil the mixture first.
Milk or water changes the portion values
The label lists 104 kcal and 12 g protein for one pancake prepared with milk, or 89 kcal and 11 g protein when prepared with water. Each portion refers to a prepared pancake of approximately 48 g. Fruit, yoghurt or other additions change the total values and are not included in these figures.
Check allergens first
The mix contains milk, egg, oats and wheat. The oat and wheat ingredients described as gluten-free are still highlighted in the ingredients list. Gluten-free does not automatically mean wheat-free. See the product page for the complete ingredient and nutrition information.
Storage
Close the lid after use and store in a cool, dry place. The best-before date and lot number are on the base of the pack.
