Description

Healthy Protein Packed Pancakes are fluffy, satisfying, and made with protein powder for a nutritious start to your day. These pancakes combine oat flour and vanilla protein powder to create a tasty, high-protein breakfast option that is easy to prepare and perfect for fueling your morning.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (blended into flour)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup milk (or almond milk)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp oil or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oat Flour: Blend the rolled oats into a fine flour using a blender or food processor if not already ground. This creates the base for your pancake batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the leavening agent and protein powder.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk (or almond milk), honey or maple syrup, and oil or melted butter until fully blended and smooth.
  4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is smooth and uniform without overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
  5. Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook Pancakes: Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes.
  7. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Add blueberries or chocolate chips into the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve topped with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit for added protein and nutrients.
  • You can substitute almond milk for dairy milk to make it dairy-free.
  • Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing honey or maple syrup according to taste.
