Chocolate Egg White Omelet with Peanut Butter Drizzle

Are dessert omelets a thing?

If not, let's make them a thing!

As with most meals I cook for myself, this idea was born out of boredom. For months I was hooked on smoothies for breakfast. Then it was eggs. More recently, I started to go untraditional with butternut squash and such.

This week I wanted something different. Something sweet.

Since I workout first thing in the morning my breakfast is always centered around protein. My go-to is egg white I buy by the carton or unflavored whey like this. I use each or both in most of my post-workout meals, and this one is no exception.

I usually don't like egg-white-only scrambles or omelets. I have to add at least one egg to the mix, or it's just not right.  For this dish, I decided to skip the whole egg because I knew I wanted to include peanut butter. Both the yolk and the peanut butter would have me over my fat goals for the day.

Instead, I added whey to give the omelet a little more body and I it didn't disappoint. The texture came out way better than a traditional egg white omlete does. I'm sure adding cocoa powder helped too.

If you are looking for a twist on breakfast, give this a whirl and let me know what you think. I'm curious if this is one of those dishes "only a mother could love." Sometimes I think I'm a little bias towards things I cook for myself.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 tbsp peanut butter 16g
• 1 tbsp maple syrup 20g separated
• ~1 tbsp water
• 100 g egg white
• 1 scoop unflavored whey protein 15g
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder 5g
• pinch of kosher salt
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

 

• Put 5g of the maple and the peanut butter a small bowl Heat in the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir until smooth. Then add 1 tsp of water and mix again until smooth. Keep adding 1 tsp of water and mixing until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Mine was perfect after 3 tsps. Set the peanut butter sauce aside.
  1 tbsp peanut butter, ~1 tbsp water
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Whisk the egg white, whey, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla and 15g of the maple syrup.
  1 tbsp maple syrup, 100 g egg white, 1 scoop unflavored whey protein, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, pinch of kosher salt, ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Add the egg white mixture into the skillet and cook as you would an omelet. Pull the cooked portion of the gg from edges toward the center so the uncooked eggs can reach the hot pan surface. Continue cooking, tilting pan until the top surface of eggs is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Fold the omelet sides over.
• Drizzle Peanut butter sauce on top.

Notes

• I used egg white in the carton (like this) but you could use separated eggs if you prefer. 
• My favorite unflavored whey is Naked. 
• Whisking the egg white mixture may still leave some whey lumps and that's ok. I've also added the mixture to my bullet. It comes out much smoother that way.
