- Cook until you start to see bubbles form on the top of the pancake, then flip and cook alternate side.

Additional Tips from Emily
Cooking Oil: Emily prefers to cook with coconut oil. You could use avocado oil for this recipe since it also does well at high temperatures. However, avoid olive oil if you can since it doesn’t do as well with high heat.
Protein Powder: For this protein pancake recipe, you can use whatever protein powder you have available, but some will work better than others. Most people tend to have whey protein at their house which can be used, but since it’s derived from dairy it tends to not do as well with recipes. For this recipe, Emily uses an egg white and beef protein isolate.
