Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, full fat
  • 1¼ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For Cooking

  • Non-stick spray

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set this bowl aside.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the plain Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and olive oil until smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently whisk together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter fluffy and prevent dense pancakes.
  4. Prepare the Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with non-stick spray (or alternatively butter or oil) to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes – First Side: Using about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, spoon onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancakes turn golden brown and tiny bubbles start forming around the edges. To check readiness, carefully lift a corner with a thin spatula.
  6. Flip and Cook – Second Side: Flip the pancakes gently using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Repeat and Serve: Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter for a delicious protein-packed breakfast.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy texture.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free yogurt alternatives.
  • Vanilla protein powder adds flavor and protein; choose your preferred brand for best results.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (approx. 200°F / 93°C) while cooking batches.
  • Feel free to add berries or nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
