Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder about 30g
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cooking spray or coconut oil for the pan

Method
 

  1. Place oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a blender and pulse for 30-45 seconds until the mixture resembles a fine flour.
  2. In a different bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, maple syrup if using, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and gently stir just until you see some lumps remain.
  4. Allow the batter to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes so it thickens nicely.
  5. Warm your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking spray or coconut oil.
  6. Spoon roughly 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
  7. Let the pancakes cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on top and the edges start to look firm.
  8. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes until they turn golden and are cooked through.
  9. Keep cooking the rest of the batter the same way, adjusting the temperature on your stove as needed.
  10. Serve your pancakes hot with toppings you love, like fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • Depending on your protein powder brand, the batter thickness might vary. Thin it with more milk if too thick, or add a bit more oats or protein powder if too runny. For fluffier pancakes, whey protein powder performs best compared to plant-based options. Ensure your pan is thoroughly preheated before cooking to avoid uneven cooking. The batter thickens during resting, so you might want to add a little milk for the last pancakes.
