We've gone for the less traditional stack this Pancake Day, and all prepared by the culinary genius that is Courtney Pruce. She's whipped up these awesome, lighter than light, fluffy American buttermilk style pancakes...wow that was a mouthful, a bit like these soft, golden discs of deliciousness will be!
She's gone for the option without protein this time around, and we have to agree, sometimes the addition of protein, whether it is whey or a more plant based source does tend to dry out whatever you're making, including pancakes. We agree, that unless the addition of protein is minimal so that it is unnoticeable, then we'd prefer it without too.
Luckily there are plenty of other ways to bump up the protein, for example Courtney has used our Cocoa+ milk protein chocolate hearts as little toppers and then melted and drizzled some of our luxury milk protein chocolate slab over the top to give this stack a chocolatey makeover.
This dessert contains only a sprinkling of sugar in our protein chocolate and the fruit used as toppers, the remainder of the pancakes themselves contain no sugar and low calorie and low fat ingredients.
Give them a go...
