🥣 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 25g) 💪
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup 🍯
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp olive oil or melted coconut oil

Optional Mix-ins:

  • Fresh or frozen blueberries 🫐
  • Mini dark chocolate chips 🍫
  • Chopped nuts or seeds

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add Greek yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla extract, and oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix It All Together:
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix — the batter should be slightly thick and fluffy. If it’s too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk.
  4. Rest the Batter:
    Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This allows the oat flour to absorb moisture, making your pancakes extra fluffy.
  5. Heat the Pan:
    Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
  6. Cook the Pancakes:
    Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Stack your pancakes high! Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a spoonful of Greek yogurt, and your favorite toppings — berries, banana slices, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. 🍌🍓
