Casein Powder Pancakes

(Boston_guy) #1

Made these today based on https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/1397m6/very_lowcarb_casein_pancakes_a_tutorial_in/

My recipe is much simpler:

  • 2 Scoops Casein Protein Powder
  • 4 eggs

Mix until smooth and creamy with a fork. Cook like griddle cakes in coconut oil. Smush well when flipping.

I used Chocolate powder because that’s all I had. They rose nicely, and were bready. Seven-year-old gave them thumbs up with peanut butter on them. He was full after two.

These seem like they would batch up well to freeze a-la Eggos, or even use as bread.

Will try again tomorrow with plain Casein powder, vanilla and cinammon.

Where are you finding casein powder? I’d love to experiment with it.

@JustPeachy From Amazon . Optimum Nutrition brand, and plain PROMIX unflavored for my wife the super-taster who picks up any fake sweeteners.

Casein looks promising - doubled muscle gain and fat loss compared to whey in this study- http://roguehealthandfitness.com/how-lose-fat-gain-muscle-at-same-time/?print=print

Thanks! I’m sure casein looks promising because it’s been used before. I have this book and it calls for Casoid flour which I’m assuming is what we are calling casein modern day. Download it, it’s very interesting considering it’s 100yrs old.

@JustPeachy wow, that’s fascinating! It does seem to behave like flour in the pancakes. Also it’s very filling and moves slowly through the system.
My kid and I have discovered that combining the powder with milk makes a super-easy “pudding”. Refrigerate it overnight for a more fudgy texture. Add salted peanuts for texture and crunch, or some Lily’s chocolate chips.
I’m no baker, so love super-simple, high ROI recipes that are easy to remember.
