Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 scoop Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 unit Large egg
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0 Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing pan

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, mix the milk, egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold in the melted butter until incorporated, ensuring not to stir too much.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.

Step 9

Serve the high protein pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
