Protein pancakes

Here’s a simple, high-protein pancake recipe that’s fluffy, nutritious, and quick to make:

1 scoop (≈30g) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate works best)

½ cup rolled oats (or oat flour)

1 large egg

½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of salt

Cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil/butter

Greek yogurt

Fresh berries or banana slices

Nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)

Blend the batter:

If using oats, blend them in a blender until they become a fine flour.

Add protein powder, egg, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Heat the pan:

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.

Cook the pancakes:

Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet.

Cook 2–3 minutes per side until bubbles form on top and edges look set.

Serve immediately:

Stack pancakes and top with your favorite healthy toppings.
