Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or nut-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the pancakes tough.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of unsalted butter or oil to coat the surface.
Step 5
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
