In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the large egg and combine it with the Premier Protein Shake, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully integrated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just blended. Be careful not to over-mix as this can result in tough pancakes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look dry.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying non-stick cooking spray as needed to prevent sticking.
Serve pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch and flavor.
