Protein Power Pancakes (Printable)

Fluffy, high-protein pancakes made with Greek yogurt and eggs for a nutritious breakfast that keeps you full.

# What You Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 1 cup oat flour or rolled oats blended to fine powder
06 - 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (30 g)
07 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar; optional)

→ For Cooking

10 - Butter or oil for greasing the pan

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sweetener. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
03 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix—small lumps are acceptable and will result in fluffier pancakes.
04 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
05 - Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set.
06 - Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These pancakes actually keep you full until lunch unlike regular pancakes that leave you hungry an hour later
  • The texture is surprisingly fluffy and light considering the protein content
02 -
  • Overmixing will make these tough and rubbery so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking improves the texture significantly
03 -
  • Wait until you see bubbles forming and popping before flipping or they will break apart
  • Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest
