Description
Whip up a batch of fluffy, delicious protein-packed pancakes in minutes. This recipe guarantees a satisfying breakfast without the dry, dense texture often associated with protein pancakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat/oat flour)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1–2 tbsp granulated sweetener (optional, e.g., sugar, erythritol)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), plus more if needed
- 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1 tbsp liquid sweetener (e.g., maple syrup, honey), optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sweetener until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, and liquid sweetener (if using). Add vanilla extract if desired.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a lightly greased non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles appear on the surface, edges are set, and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
