Why You Will Like These Egg White Pancakes
I tried the viral pancakes from Hailey Fernandes on Tiktok. In case you didn’t know who she is she’s a fitness influencer on that app and her pancake recipe is going pretty viral. It’s almost like an eggwhite souffle when you watch it rise.
The first couple of tries I made this pancake it completely flopped and it ended up looking like scrambled pancakes. It just takes a couple of times to get it right.
I like how clean this easy and the ingredients are really to have on hand or in the pantry or fridge. It also has quite a bit of protein and these are very WW friendly pancakes.
Hope you enjoy these pancakes!
Ingredients Needed for Egg White Pancakes
- ½ cup of egg whites (approximately4 large egg whites) - for best results use fresh egg whites
- ½ banana mashed
- 1 tsp of baking powder (In her video she just eyeballs this and you really can't tell how much she added. It looks like anywhere from a teaspoon to 1 tablespoon.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan
Optional Pancake Toppings
- Fresh fruits (e.g., berries, banana slices)
- Maple syrup or honey
- Greek yogurt
- Nut butter
How to Make Egg White Pancakes
Step 1 Prepare the Batter: In a blender add the egg white, mashed banana, baking powder, and vanilla extract until well combined. I used a Ninja Creami Bullet to blend the batter do not use a whisk!
Step 2 Preheat and Grease the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter. This is what the batter should look like after blended.
Step 3 Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the pancakes to a serving plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Pro Tip: Sometimes the pancakes will be hard to flip and they will look messy but I promise the end result is good.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Top with your choice of fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup, or any of your favorite toppings.
How Many Egg Whites is ½ Cup?
If you are halfway through this recipe and realizing you don't have a measuring cup—or you’re staring at a carton of egg whites wondering how much to pour—here is the quick answer:
½ cup of liquid egg whites is equivalent to 4 large eggs.
However, not all egg whites are created equal. Depending on what you have in your kitchen, here is how to get the measurement perfect:
Carton Egg Whites: If you are using a product like Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites or Bob Evans Egg Whites, rely on the weight. ½ cup of liquid egg whites weighs approximately 120 grams.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes
You can drop this right under the instructions in your post:
For best results:
- Cook on medium low heat. High heat will burn the outside before the center sets. If the heat is too high the pancakes will turn black.
- Use a flat top griddle or Blackstone to cook the pancakes faster. I tried a pan once and it was just easier on a flat top!
- These egg white pancakes tend to come out soft and crepe-like because there’s no flour or fat to give them structure.
- Make smaller pancakes so they flip easily.
- Blend the batter for a smooth texture.
- Let the batter rest before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
Enjoy these delicious egg white pancakes as a nutritious start to your day!

Description
Egg white pancakes have taken the internet by storm, thanks to fitness influencer Hailey Fernandes and her viral TikTok recipe. These pancakes are a delightful alternative to traditional pancakes, offering a light and fluffy texture that resembles a souffle. Not only are they simple to make, but they also pack a protein punch, making them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals.
Ingredients
½ cup of egg whites (approximately 4 large egg whites)
½ banana mashed
1 tsp of baking powder (she eyeballs this if this is all you taste you added too much)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
Add the egg whites, mashed banana, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until the batter is completely smooth and slightly frothy. Let the batter rest for 3 to 5 minutes to activate the baking powder and thicken.
Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium low heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Lower heat is important so the pancakes cook through without burning.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the warm skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a small circle if needed. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, the edges look set, and the bottoms are lightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pancakes are cooked through. These pancakes are delicate, so keeping them smaller makes them easier to turn.
Notes
Whip it Up for Fluffiness: To achieve a light and airy texture, consider whipping the egg whites to soft peaks before incorporating them into the batter.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve with fresh fruit, syrup, yogurt, or your favorite toppings.

I used egg whites in a carton.
Bella says
Hi thanks for sharing! I noticed you listed 1/2 cup of egg whites but 8 egg whites. 1 large egg white is 30g so that would be 240g or 1 cup not 1/2 cup. Could you please clarify if it's 1/2 cup or 1 cup of egg whites? I'd love to make it! Thanks xx
Jenna says
Thanks for catching that. Sometimes I miss stuff like that.
Jessie Driscoll says
Baking soda or baking powder??? The list of ingredients says one and the directions say the other!
Maddie bailey says
This turned to absolute fluff and mush in the pan.
Sarah says
