Protein Pancakes

There are so many versions of protein pancakes out there.  So as usual, I combined a few and made it my own. 

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 scoop of protein powder**
1 tsp. baking powder
6 Tbsp. milk***
oil/spray for the pan

Directions:
Prepare skillet on medium heat.  Mix eggs, protein powder, baking powder, and milk in a bowl.  Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop out the batter onto the skillet.  When the pancake bubbles, flip it.  You can also add other ingredients to the mix, such as fruit or cinnamon.  I made some with blueberries.  You can serve with butter, syrup, jam, or my favorite... cream cheese.

Using this recipe, I get about 5-6 pancakes. 

** The amount of protein powder depends on the type of protein powder you use.  I use Jay Robb.  It is one of the few that do not hurt my stomach, tastes decent, and has the best ingredients.  One serving is one scoop in this kind.  Some protein powders require two scoops.  Use the amount for one serving.

*** You can use water or any type of milk for this.  I use Fairlife Skim Milk.  It is lactose free, high protein, and does not bother my sensitive to milk stomach.  I also use almond milk at times but it is not as high in protein.
