Notes
Ingredient Swaps & Options
- Eggs. I use whole eggs, but you can make protein pancakes with egg whites. Or, for an egg-free version, try making these with a chia or flax egg.
- Cottage Cheese. I love Good Culture cottage cheese. However, if you are following a low FODMAP elimination diet, choose a lactose-free brand like Green Valley Lactose-Free cottage cheese.
- Maple syrup. A little bit goes a long way, but you can make yours without any added sugars.
- Raspberries. Swap with your favorite fresh or frozen/thawed fruit. Use 2/3 cup total for a low FODMAP serving of 1/3 cup each.
- Oil for cooking. High oleic sunflower oil, avocado oil, olive oil, or coconut oil
- Optional: Protein powder (i.e., vanilla protein powder, pea protein powder, etc.)
- Fresh fruit. Top off with your favorite fresh fruit.
- Peanut butter or almond butter. Add a hefty dollop of your favorite nut butter for extra protein, fiber, and healthy fat.
- Chopped nuts or seeds. Pecans, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds....you name it!
- Greek yogurt. Or lactose-free yogurt for a low FODMAP version.
- Chocolate chips. For a low-sugar version, try Lakanto chocolate chips.
- Add a drizzle of pure maple syrup for extra decadence!
