Protein Power Pancakes (Printable Version)

Fluffy, high-protein pancakes made with Greek yogurt and eggs for a nutritious, filling breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup milk
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 1 cup oat flour
06 - 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
07 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice

→ For Cooking

10 - Butter or oil for greasing the pan

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.
03 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
04 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
05 - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
06 - Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • They're genuinely fluffy and taste nothing like a sad, protein-forward health food—they're actually craveable.
  • Sixteen grams of protein per serving means you won't be raiding the pantry an hour later like a hungry bear.
  • The whole thing comes together in 25 minutes, so even rushed mornings feel manageable.
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that overmixing is the number one pancake killer—lumpy batter actually makes fluffier pancakes than smooth batter, so resist the urge to stir it into submission.
  • Your first pancake is often a temperature test pancake that might not be perfect, and that's completely fine; adjust your heat up or down based on how it browns and cook time.
03 -
  • Make the batter the night before and store it in the fridge; it actually gets thicker and fluffier as the oat flour hydrates, so you might add a tablespoon of milk when you cook the next morning.
  • If you batch-cook these on Sunday, they freeze beautifully and reheat in a toaster, meaning busy weekday mornings suddenly feel less chaotic.
