Ingredients

  • 250 ml (1 cup) whole wheat flour (or buckwheat flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 160 ml (⅔ cup) ground almonds
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 125 ml (½ cup) egg whites
    250 ml (1 cup) plain 0% Greek yogurt
  • 180 ml (3/4 cup) high-protein milk
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
  • 500 ml (2 cups) fresh strawberries, diced, divided
  • Cooking spray
  • Maple syrup, to taste, for serving

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. 
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, Greek yogurt, high-protein milk and vanilla until smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Gently incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix just enough to moisten the batter, without overmixing the preparation.
  4. Gently fold 1 ½ cups (375 ml) of the strawberries into the batter using a spatula. Reserve the rest for serving.
  5. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  6. Pour about  60-80 ml (¼-⅓ cup) of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the remaining fresh strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
