Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder (vanilla or plain)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
Create a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
