Description

Easy protein powder pancakes that are packed with 26 grams of protein per serving!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (whey protein works best)
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cup milk (I use almond milk)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp oil (I use avocado oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, protein powder and baking powder together in a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, oil and vanilla extract.
  3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together to combine. Don’t overmix.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled pan on medium heat and spoon some pancake batter (about 1/4 cup per pancake) into the pan.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Notes

Use whey protein for best results. (it will create lighter pancakes than plant-based protein powder)ย 

Make sure to use protein powder that you like the taste and texture of!

*Amount of protein in the recipe will vary depending on what protein powder you use.
