Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.
