Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk, and vanilla extract. Stir in the melted butter until the wet mixture is well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir the mixture just until combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the top and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup.
