Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 scoop Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg
• 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 enough to grease the pan Cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of milk if the batter is too thick.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the measuring cup to spread the batter slightly, if needed.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
