Pancake Base

  • 80gLiquid egg whites
  • 30g (~¼ of a medium banana)Ripe banana
  • 15gOat flour (or rolled oats blended into powder)
  • ¼ tspBaking powder
  • as neededZero-calorie cooking spray

Vanilla Protein Cream

  • 30gVanilla whey protein powder
  • 50gPlain non-fat (0%) Greek yogurt
  • 2-3 tbspUnsweetened almond milk or water
  • 1 tspSugar-free vanilla pudding mix (optional)

Topping

  • 40gMixed forest berries (raspberries, cherries, or cranberries)

👨‍🍳Method

1

Prepare the Vanilla Cream

2 min

In a small bowl, mix the vanilla whey protein powder, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, and sugar-free vanilla pudding mix (if using). Slowly whisk in the almond milk or water 1 tablespoon at a time until you get a smooth, thick, and creamy vanilla sauce. Set it in the fridge to chill and thicken.

💡The pudding mix is optional but gives it that rich, custard-like yellow color and thickness. Without it, the cream is still delicious — just whiter.
2

Blend the Batter

1 min

In a blender or small food processor, combine the liquid egg whites, ripe banana, oat flour, and baking powder. Blend until completely smooth.

💡The banana adds natural sweetness and moisture — no sweetener needed in the batter.
3

Cook the Pancake

5 min

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with zero-calorie cooking spray. Pour the batter in to make one large pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.

4

Chop

1 min

Remove the pancake from the heat and let it cool for a minute. Using a knife, chop the pancake into small, bite-sized squares or strips.

💡Don't chop too small — you want pieces big enough to hold their shape when soaked in cream.
5

Assemble the Jar

1 min

In a wide glass jar or a deep dessert bowl, add a layer of the chopped pancake pieces. Pour your chilled, thick vanilla protein cream generously over the pancake pieces so it seeps into the gaps.

💡Layer it — pancake, cream, pancake, cream — for the best visual effect through the glass.
6

Garnish

1 min

Top the dessert with the mixed forest berries. Serve immediately while the pancake pieces are warm and the cream is cold, or chill it for 20 minutes for a cold dessert.
