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 in a blender and process for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture turns into a fine flour.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with milk, maple syrup if using, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir gently until just mixed, allowing some lumps to remain.
  4. Set the batter aside for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to thicken.
  5. Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and apply a light coating of cooking spray or coconut oil.
  6. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear on top and edges look firm.
  8. Turn the pancakes over and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden and fully cooked.
  9. Continue cooking the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  10. Serve the pancakes hot with your preferred toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • Batter thickness can vary based on the protein powder used; add more milk if too thick or more oats/protein powder if too thin. Use a quality protein powder that tastes good by itself. Whey protein tends to make pancakes fluffier than plant-based ones. Ensure the pan is properly heated before cooking for even results. The batter will firm up as it rests—thin with milk if needed while cooking the last pancakes.
