Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing pan
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the milk, egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the melted butter until incorporated, ensuring not to stir too much.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
Serve the high protein pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
