Ingredients for Protein Dutch Baby Pancake

This high protein Dutch baby pancake uses a few simple and healthy ingredients like whole wheat pastry flour, almond milk and Greek yogurt, and is sweetened with protein powder instead of sugar.

Whole wheat pastry flour for that lightness of the all-purpose flour, but with the nutritious benefits of whole grains
Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly low carb high protein scone. Quest Nutrition again here.
Vanilla Protein Powder to add some sweetness and make it a high protein German pancake. This is the replacement for sugar.
I used ProteinWorld Whey; The ProteinWorld Slender Blend another great option. Code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount on both.
Quest is another option.
Greek Yogurt

An Egg White
A pinch of Nutmeg

And then for coating the pan:

Softened Butter; Either salted or unsalted are okay.

Tips for Protein Powder Dutch Baby

This recipe for a giant German protein pancake is really easy to make, but here’s some pointers to get it right:

Preheat the cast iron skillet before cooking; You need the pan to be hot!

Use the butter! Don’t skip it. In fact, add more if you’re okay with it.
This is needed for the pancake to rise.

Coat pan well with butter.

Blend ingredients well; The batter should be quite runny.

Use room temperature eggs, milk and yogurt;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well and form a smooth batter.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have low sugar protein powder dutch baby pancake.

Make ahead and store Healthy German Pancakes

These healthy german pancakes can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer.

To store healthy Dutch baby pancake, place in airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.

For a longer-term option, cut it up into pieces, optionally wrap each one in plastic wrap and keep the Dutch baby in a freezer safe zipper bag. They should last 1-2 months.

Toppings for Healthy German Pancakes

This healthy German pancakes recipe makes a great breakfast, or even dessert or post workout treat!

My favorite toppings here were a generous sprinkle of sugar-free powdered sugar, nuts and berries.

A pour of maple syrup would really go well too, or even some chocolate sauce or chocolate chips.

I use all of those ^ from Lakanto since they’re sugar free. P. S. the code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount.
