- 1 tsp baking powder

Cook for 90 seconds, flip, and cook for a further minute. Repeat for the rest of the batch. Frosting: In a bowl, whisk the cream cheese and White Chocolate Whey until smooth. Colour: Split the frosting into two bowls. Leave one white. Add a few drops of red and blue colouring to the other to create a "magical" purple.

Finish: Add a squirt of whipped cream and a spray of edible gold glitter for that chocolatier magic!

Frequently asked questions
Is this recipe high in fibre?
Yes, these pancakes are high in fibre. By using 150g of oats and a whole banana as the base instead of refined white flour, you get a significant amount of complex carbohydrates and dietary fibre. This helps with digestion and provides sustained energy levels throughout your morning.
Are these suitable for Pancake Day?
Absolutely! If you want to win Pancake Day, this is the recipe to do it. It’s far more exciting than standard crepes and provides the protein you need to stay on track with your training goals.
Can I make the frosting ahead of time?
Yes, you can whisk the protein frosting up to 24 hours in advance and keep it in the fridge. This is a great tip if you're hosting a brunch and want to assemble the stacks quickly.
What if I don't have White Chocolate Whey?
No problem. You can use Vanilla Impact Whey and a few drops of our White Chocolate Flavour Drops to get that same delicious flavour without needing a specific bag of powder.
How do I get the perfect purple colour?
Add your red and blue food colouring one drop at a time. It’s easier to darken the colour than it is to lighten it! Aim for a vibrant violet.
