Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Optional: 1/4 cup fresh or frozen berries
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon flaxseeds or chia seeds
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
- Slowly incorporate the milk into the batter until thick but pourable.
- Fold in any optional add-ins like berries or nuts.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and spread slightly.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook another 2 minutes.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a towel.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, beat egg whites separately until soft peaks form and fold into batter. Let batter rest a few minutes before cooking.
