🥞 Genepro Replaces Flour 1:1

Same texture and rise, much higher protein, minimal carbs.

I make these every Sunday. They’re fluffy, delicious, and you wouldn’t guess they’re protein pancakes. Total breakfast game-changer.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Genepro (replaces flour 1:1)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Cooking spray or butter for pan

Directions

1
Whisk dry ingredients: Genepro, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (if using).
2
Whisk wet ingredients: eggs, milk, vanilla, in a separate bowl.
3
Combine wet + dry. Stir gently until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
4
Rest batter 2–3 minutes while the pan heats.
5
Cook over medium heat: ¼ cup batter each. When bubbles form (2–3 min), flip and cook 1–2 min.

Regular vs. Genepro Pancakes

❌ Traditional (3 pancakes)

Calories: ~140
More stable energy
Full for 4–5 hrs

Why This Works

Genepro’s hydrolyzed formula provides structure and rise similar to all-purpose flour while delivering high protein and minimal carbs. Many standard protein powders turn pancakes dense or rubbery—this one behaves more like flour in batter.

🥞 Merina’s Tips

Meal prep: Make a triple batch (24 pancakes). Freeze with parchment between layers; reheat ~30 sec.

Fluff factor: Don’t overmix. Cook on medium and flip when bubbles appear.

Variations: Fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or a little mashed banana.

Keto-friendly: Use unsweetened almond milk (~2 g carbs per serving).

Topping Ideas

My go-to: 2 tbsp Greek yogurt + berries (+3 g protein → ~18 g total).
Protein-packed: ¼ cup blended cottage cheese + strawberries (~22 g total).
Simple: Sugar-free syrup and butter.
Keto: Cream cheese + sugar-free syrup.

The Bottom Line

Fluffy, delicious, and about 15 g protein per serving. With Sunday prep, you’ve got high-protein breakfasts ready in ~30 seconds all week.
