Description

Fluffy high-protein pancakes made with oats, Greek yogurt, and egg protein. A gluten-free, nutrient-dense alternative to traditional pancakes with natural fiber and balanced energy.


Ingredients

Scale

1.5 cups oats
2.5 teaspoons baking powder
0.5 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
3 large eggs or 3 flax eggs
1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Coconut, avocado, or olive oil for greasing


Instructions

Combine oats, baking powder, and protein powder in a high-speed blender
Add eggs, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup; blend until smooth
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes
Brush with oil; pour 3/4 cup batter for each pancake
Cook until top bubbles, flip, and cook for 2 minutes
Repeat with remaining batter

Notes

Use gluten-free oats if needed
Adjust baking powder to 1 teaspoon if using self-rising flour
Substitute Greek yogurt with unsweetened applesauce
Reduce maple syrup or use a low-sugar alternative
Non-stick pans reduce oil usage
