Ingredients

• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1 scoop whey protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup low-fat milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine buckwheat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients until well integrated.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, egg, vanilla extract, honey, and vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can lead to tough pancakes.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip with a spatula.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.
