Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups almond milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Preheat a Belgian waffle maker or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, melt a little butter or spray with cooking spray to lightly coat the surface.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the waffle maker or skillet for each pancake. Spread gently with a spatula if needed.

Step 6

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or spray to the skillet as necessary.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
