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

Other

  • 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. Set the mixture aside.
  2. Combine wet ingredients. In another bowl, thoroughly mix the plain Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and whisk gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
  4. Preheat skillet. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick spray or a small amount of butter or oil.
  5. Cook pancakes. Using about ¼ cup of batter per pancake, pour onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and small bubbles form around the edges. Check doneness by gently lifting a pancake corner with a spatula.
  6. Flip and finish cooking. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
  7. Serve. Repeat with remaining batter and serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or nut butter.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffy texture.
  • Use medium heat to avoid burning while fully cooking pancakes.
  • Substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Greek yogurt adds moisture and protein to the pancakes.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on stove and skillet used.
