Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt minimum 5% fat or full fat
  • 1/2 cup protein powder vanilla recommended
  • 2 tbsp oat flour replace with almond flour or preferred flour
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey if using unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder for fluffier pancakes
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract if using unflavored protein powder

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Fork or spatula
  • Pan

Method
 

  1. Combine protein powder, oat flour, Greek yogurt, and egg in a bowl. If using unflavored protein powder, add maple syrup to taste for sweetness.
  2. Mix the batter with a fork or spatula until smooth. If the batter is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency, as this can vary depending on the protein powder used.
  3. Pour a scoop of batter into a hot, greased pan. Cook over low to medium heat until the underside is golden and bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until both sides are golden brown. Avoid overcooking.
  4. Serve with your favorite toppings or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Protein powder choice: Casein, whey-casein blends, or vegan protein powders result in softer pancakes. Whey protein, especially whey isolate, can become dry when heated. Use a flavored protein powder like vanilla or chocolate. If using unflavored powder, sweeten the batter with maple syrup or honey to your preference.
