In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat a Belgian waffle maker or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, melt a little butter or spray with cooking spray to lightly coat the surface.
Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the waffle maker or skillet for each pancake. Spread gently with a spatula if needed.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or spray to the skillet as necessary.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
