Prepare the dry ingredients
In a bowl, combine the ground rolled oats, protein powder, pancake mix and a pinch of salt. This completely dry mixture allows you to obtain a uniform protein pancake that does not stick to the pan. The ground rolled oats provide a light and airy texture, ideal for keeping the pancake soft despite the presence of protein powder.
Add wet ingredients
Add the egg, milk of your choice and maple syrup. Mix gently. The milk provides a smooth and light texture, while the egg strengthens the pancake's consistency. This step creates a soft batter, typical of a healthy protein pancake.
Adjust consistency
Depending on the brand of protein powder, the batter may become too thick. If this is the case, add a little milk until you obtain a pourable consistency, similar to that of a traditional pancake batter. This step is essential for cooking a successful protein pancake recipe.
Cook the pancakes
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. For a ladle of batter and cook until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and continue cooking for about 30 seconds. Protein pancakes should be golden, soft and slightly thick.
Garnish and serve
Serve your pancakes with: Greek yogurt Fruits (bananas, strawberries, blueberries) Peanut butter Maple syrup Chia seeds These toppings enhance the health aspect of the protein pancake, while adding fiber, good fats and quality carbohydrates.
