Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¼ cup oat flour
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup liquid egg whites
- ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt (plus an extra dollop for topping)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- A splash of vanilla extract
Cooking
- Cooking spray
- Optional: sugar-free syrup for serving
Instructions
- Mix the batter: Combine oat flour, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, liquid egg whites, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir until the mixture forms an evenly combined batter.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up properly to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the pan: Spray the heated pan generously with cooking spray to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour small amounts of batter into the pan to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook each pancake until golden brown on the bottom, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown as well.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Top with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt and a light sprinkle of cinnamon. Optionally, drizzle with sugar-free syrup for added sweetness.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and reduce the need for excessive oil or butter.
- Feel free to adjust the cinnamon amount to your taste preference.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat briefly in the microwave or on a skillet for a quick breakfast.
- To keep it dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Ensure the protein powder is suitable for your dietary needs—some vanilla protein powders may contain added sugar or allergens.
