Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine the eggs, protein powder, oats, and baking powder. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth batter with no large oat pieces.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up. Optionally, lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour portions of the batter onto the heated skillet, forming small to medium-sized pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip.
- Finish Cooking: Cook the flipped side for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the fluffy protein pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or syrup.
Notes
- Use a blender to ensure the oats are finely ground for smoother pancakes.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on pancake thickness to avoid undercooking or burning.
- You can customize the flavor by using flavored protein powders like chocolate or berry.
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based protein powder and skip greasing with butter.
