Protein Power Pancakes (Printable)

Fluffy, protein-rich pancakes made with Greek yogurt and oat flour for a nutritious breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup milk
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 1 cup oat flour
06 - 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
07 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice

→ For Cooking

10 - Butter or oil for greasing the pan

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.
03 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
04 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
05 - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
06 - Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They keep you genuinely full until lunch, which is a game-changer if you skip snacking.
  • The Greek yogurt makes them taste indulgent while actually delivering real nutrition without that protein-powder grittiness.
02 -
  • Don't skip the step of letting the pan warm properly—cold pans make pancakes that cook unevenly and never get that golden-brown exterior.
  • If your batter sits for more than a few minutes, it gets thicker and the pancakes turn out dense; mix just before cooking.
03 -
  • Make a big batch and freeze the extras wrapped individually; they reheat perfectly in the toaster and give you grab-and-go breakfasts for busy mornings.
  • If your protein powder has a strong flavor you don't love, using unflavored powder or cutting back slightly makes a noticeable difference in taste.
