Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
To make the homemade syrup, combine honey, water, and cinnamon in a small saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it starts to bubble. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool slightly before serving with the pancakes.
Serve the high-protein pancakes warm, drizzled with the homemade syrup.
