Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey)
  • 1/2 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 whole large egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk, soy milk, or water)
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour, gluten-free all-purpose blend, or almond flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Sweetener (optional, such as erythritol, stevia, or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toppings: fresh or frozen berries, sliced banana, extra Greek yogurt, nuts, seeds, or sugar-free syrup

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients & Prep: Get all your ingredients out and ready. Preheat your non-stick griddle or a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, whole egg, egg whites, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a separate larger bowl, combine the protein powder, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and any optional sweetener. Whisk to eliminate clumps.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Rest the Batter (Optional, but Recommended): Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the protein powder and flour.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Lightly grease your preheated griddle or pan. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  7. Flip & Finish: Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve Immediately: Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve with your favorite toppings.

Nutrition

Keywords: Different protein powders absorb liquid differently; adjust milk as needed for batter consistency. Don't overmix to ensure fluffy pancakes. Letting the batter rest can enhance texture.
