Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 scoop Whey protein powder (vanilla or plain)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.

Step 3

Create a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 5

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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