“Accidental” Nooch Pancake

Prep Time

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 5 minutes

Prep Notes

What happens when you have 1 egg in the house and want to bulk it up with more nutrition? Add nutritional yeast*, (aka “nooch”)! I sound really smart but really, I accidentally dumped in way too much “nooch” to my 1 egg. Without another option, I just added a little extra water and a dash of oil and poured it into the pan. It worked! Add chia seed for even more health benefits of fiber and antioxidants. It cooks just like a pancake and tastes delicious! 

Nutritional Yeast has long been used as a cheese substitute for vegans. It is deactivated yeast flakes, tastes cheesy, salty and nutty. Sounds weird but it is delicious! Just 1 Tablespoon boasts 3 grams of protein and 120% vit B.
