Ingredients

• Wet Ingredients: 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy), 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Dry Ingredients: 1 cup (120 g) oat flour (or rolled oats blended to a fine powder), 1 scoop (30 g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar; optional)
• For Cooking: Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the fluffiest texture, be careful not to overmix the batter; stir only until the dry ingredients are just incorporated. Monitor your pan's temperature closely—medium heat is key to ensuring the pancakes cook through without burning the outside.
