To make protein pancakes, here is a simple and effective recipe: Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (blended into flour)
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 small eggs
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions:
- Blend the oats in a blender until it forms a flour-like texture.
- Add baking powder, protein powder, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and maple syrup to the blender. Blend everything until smooth.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with oil or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute.
- Repeat until all batter is used. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Tips:
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Adjust consistency with a bit of milk if too thick.
- Cook on medium or medium-high heat to avoid burning.
- Cover the skillet while cooking to make pancakes extra fluffy.
This recipe yields about 8 pancakes and provides a high-protein, fluffy pancake option.
Another recipe variation includes mixing oat flour with protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon, then combining with mashed banana, egg, and milk. Cook on medium-low heat until golden, for about 5 pancakes.
A quick 3-ingredient version is also possible with just eggs, Greek yogurt, and vegan protein powder, mixed and cooked until golden brown, great for a fast, high-protein breakfast.
These recipes can be adapted with different protein powders and toppings to suit taste and dietary needs.
