Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ¼ cup oat flour
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup liquid egg whites
- ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt (plus extra dollop for topping)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- A splash of vanilla extract
Others
- Cooking spray
- Optional: sugar-free syrup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine oat flour, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, liquid egg whites, nonfat Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until you achieve an evenly mixed batter with no lumps.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up evenly to ensure proper cooking.
- Apply Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the heated pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour small amounts of batter into the pan to form individual pancakes. Avoid overcrowding to cook them evenly.
- Flip Pancakes: Cook each side until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, flipping carefully to keep the pancake intact and cooked through.
- Serve: Plate the pancakes and top them with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt and an additional sprinkle of cinnamon. Optionally, drizzle sugar-free syrup for extra sweetness.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter.
- Use a non-stick pan to reduce the need for excessive oil or butter.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or microwave for a quick meal.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity based on your taste preference.
- Optional sugar-free syrup adds sweetness without extra calories.
