Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 6
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.
