• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until frothy.

Step 3

Add the almond milk to the egg mixture and continue whisking until well combined.

Step 4

Sift in the vanilla protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, then whisk again until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Place the butter in a 10-inch (25 cm) ovenproof skillet or baking dish, and heat in the oven until the butter is melted and sizzling, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and immediately pour the batter into the hot butter.

Step 7

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
