Note
Why Weider Protein Pancake Mix?
Weider Protein Pancake Mix makes this recipe especially convenient because the protein base is already built into the mix. According to GAZ Nutrition, the product contains 31 g of protein per 100 g, with protein coming from whey, egg, and milk sources. It also contains whole oat flour and ModCarb®, a grain blend containing oat bran, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, and millet.
For this recipe, 200 g of the mix provides approximately 76 g of protein before adding the banana or pistachio cream, based on the product's stated 19 g of protein per 50 g serving.
The mix is also designed for quick preparation: GAZ Nutrition recommends mixing 50 g of powder with 100 ml of water or milk, so this recipe uses the same basic 1:2 mix-to-water ratio, with banana added for flavor and texture.
Why Weider Pistachio Cream?
The mini pancakes are finished with Weider Whey Protein Pistachio Cream, a creamy pistachio spread made with whey protein and real pistachio paste.
According to GAZ Nutrition, it contains 24 g of protein per 100 g, 15% pistachio paste, no added sugar, and no palm oil. The current nutrition information lists 549 kcal, 40 g fat, 32 g carbohydrates, 5.1 g sugars, and 24 g protein per 100 g.
A typical 15 g serving provides approximately 3.6 g of protein, making it an easy way to add both pistachio flavor and additional protein to pancakes, toast, porridge, yogurt, or desserts.
Keep the pancakes small
Small pancakes are easier to flip and cook more evenly. Use only a small spoonful of batter for each pancake.
Use medium heat
If the pan is too hot, the outside can brown before the center is cooked. Medium heat gives the mini pancakes enough time to cook through.
The banana adds sweetness
The banana adds natural sweetness and helps give the pancakes a soft texture, so no additional sugar is needed in the batter.
Don't skip the blender
Blending the banana with the pancake mix creates a smooth batter and distributes the banana evenly throughout the mixture.
Adjust the consistency if needed
Bananas can vary in size. If your batter seems thicker than expected, add a small amount of water and blend again.
Pistachio cream
The amount of pistachio cream is completely up to you. For a lighter coating, use a thin layer; for a richer dessert-style version, add more.
Allergens
The Weider Protein Pancake Mix contains milk and lactose and also contains wheat/gluten and egg ingredients according to the product composition. The pistachio cream contains milk and pistachios and may contain traces of soy and other nuts.
