Course: Breakfast
Servings: 5 servings
Author: On The Go Bites
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup protein powder I use Syntha vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain flavor
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs whipped
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
Mix Dry Protein Pancake Ingredients

  1. Mix flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder and salt in bowl, set aside.

Mix Wet Protein Pancake Ingredients

  1. Melt butter and immediately remove from heat to cool.  I typically melt the butter before I even start getting the other ingredients together so that it cools enough and won’t curdle the milk.

  2. Use room temperature milk or warm in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

  3. Hand whip eggs with a fork, add to cooled butter, warm milk and Greek yogurt. 

Protein Pancake Batter

  1. Slowly pour wet into dry ingredients and mix with a fork.  Mix only until well blended.  Over mixing will make for tougher pancakes.

Cook Protein Pancakes

  1. Warm a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.  Test one pancake to see if the heat is right. 

  2. Typically I'll add a pat of butter to the pan before I start cooking the pancakes to grease the pan, after the first round the greasing is no longer needed.

  3. Use a ladle or a 1/4 cup measuring cup and pour as many pancakes as your pan will allow, leaving room for spreading.  Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until you see bubbles appearing on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. 

  4. Flip.  Second side usually takes about half the time as the first side and
    doesn't brown as evenly. 

Recipe Notes

If you have English muffin rings or 3"-4" round cookie cutters (metal of course so it won't melt) they will make perfect round pancakes like you see in my pictures.  It  may seem silly but doesn’t take any more effort and also keeps the pancakes thicker and more moist.  Make sure to spray or butter the inside of the rings so that the batter doesn’t stick.
