Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or cooking spray
• 0 to taste optional toppings (e.g., fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, nuts)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick but pourable batter forms. Add a little more almond milk if the batter is too thick.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with unsalted butter or cooking spray.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use a spatula to gently spread the batter into a round shape, if necessary.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve warm with your choice of optional toppings, such as fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a sprinkle of nuts. Enjoy!
