01 -
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
02 -
1/2 cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
03 -
1 tbsp Baking Powder
04 -
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
05 -

06 -
2 large Eggs
07 -
3/4 cup Milk (2% or whole)
08 -
1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (2% or full-fat)
09 -
1 tbsp Maple Syrup
10 -
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
→ Griddle Glide
11 -
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder, 1 tbsp Baking Powder, 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon, and a Pinch of Salt. This forms the fluffy foundation for your High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes: Quick & Energizing Breakfast.
02 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk 2 large Eggs until lightly beaten. Add 3/4 cup Milk, 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt, 1 tbsp Maple Syrup, and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract. Whisk until well combined and smooth, creating the 'Liquid Gold & Sweetness'.
03 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine; do not overmix, as this ensures the ultimate fluffiness of your High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes: Quick & Energizing Breakfast.
04 -
Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (your 'Griddle Glide') on the surface, spreading it evenly. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
05 -
Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface. Flip carefully and cook the other side until done, about 1-2 minutes more.
06 -
Transfer cooked High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes: Quick & Energizing Breakfast to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more Unsalted Butter to the griddle if needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings for an energizing start.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't Overmix: Overmixing develops gluten, leading to tough pancakes. A few lumps in the batter are a sign of perfectly fluffy pancakes!
02 -
Storage Tip: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster, microwave, or on a griddle.
03 -
Protein Powder Swap: Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors like chocolate or unflavored for a different twist on your High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes.
04 -
Serving Suggestions: Elevate your breakfast with fresh berries, sliced bananas, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup or honey.
