Delicious and healthy protein pancakes that are perfect for a nutritious breakfast.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (minimum 5% fat or full fat)
- ½ cup protein powder (vanilla recommended) Any protein powder can be used, but vanilla is preferred.
- 2 tbsp oat flour Can be replaced with almond flour or preferred flour.
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey Use if using unflavored protein powder.
- ½ tsp baking powder Helps to make fluffier pancakes.
- ½ tsp vanilla extract Use if using unflavored protein powder.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the protein powder, oat flour, Greek yogurt, and egg. If using unflavored protein powder, add maple syrup to taste for sweetness.
- Mix the batter with a fork or spatula until smooth. If the batter feels too thick, add one tablespoon of milk at a time until the right consistency is reached.
Cooking
- Pour a scoop of batter into a hot, greased pan.
- Cook over low to medium heat until the underside turns golden and bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip with a spatula and cook until both sides are golden brown, being careful not to overcook.
Serving
- Serve with your favorite toppings or store in the fridge for a maximum of 4 days.
Notes
Use a non-stick pan or enough cooking spray to prevent sticking. For fluffier pancakes, do not skip the baking powder. You can experiment with flavors by adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, or mashed bananas.
