Nourishing Egg White Pancakes

I love pancakes and after making pancakes for quite a while now, I understand the importance of eggs in creating a pancake batter than holds up well. However, I understand that some people may have issues with eating too much egg yolks so today we’re going to make egg white pancakes (which use only one egg yolk in the entire recipe!). Here’s the best part of all – the egg whites make these pancakes beautifully fluffy!

Start off by whisking rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl; in another bowl, stir the milk, egg yolk, coconut oil and vanilla extract together until combined. Next up, use an electric beater set on medium-high speed to beat the egg whites until you see stiff peaks form – this should take you around two minutes. Now stir the milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and then stir in a third of the beaten egg whites before gently folding in the rest of the eggs whites until just incorporated. It’s fine if there are some lumps – just be careful not to over mix!

Melt a little coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, and pour half cup of batter in the middle of the skillet to form a circle. Allow batter to cook until bubbles start rising to the surface and the bottom has turned a beautiful light brown. Flip the pancake over with a spatula and then allow it to cook a little more until the other side is also slightly brown. When all the pancake batter has been used up, serve these light and fluffy egg white pancakes with a drizzle of honey and enjoy!
