Ingredients
Scale
Pancakes
- 1 1/4 cup oat flour (150g)
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt (224g)
- 1 cup liquid egg whites (250g)
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Egg Mixture
- 1 cup liquid egg whites (250g)
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp water
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 6 pieces turkey bacon, cooked and cut in half
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (84g)
- 12 Tbsp maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the pancake batter: In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, Greek yogurt, 1 cup liquid egg whites, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well blended.
- Preheat the cooking surface: Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over low to medium heat and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes: Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all 12 pancakes are cooked.
- Scramble the eggs: In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup liquid egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 2 tablespoons water, salt, and black pepper. Heat a pan over medium heat and scramble the egg mixture until fully cooked and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Assemble the pancake tacos: On each pancake, place ½ a piece of turkey bacon, approximately 28 grams of scrambled eggs, 7 grams shredded cheddar cheese, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Fold gently to create a taco shape and serve immediately.
Notes
- Oat flour can be substituted with whole wheat or almond flour if preferred.
- Use turkey bacon for a leaner option; regular bacon may be used but will increase fat content.
- Cooking pancakes over low to medium heat ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- Adjust maple syrup amount to taste or substitute with sugar-free syrup for lower sugar intake.
