# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp fine sea salt. This forms the fluffy foundation for your Fluffy High Protein Pancakes | Meal Prep Ready.
02 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp pure maple syrup until well combined and smooth.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are okay; overmixing will result in tough pancakes. This gentle mixing is key for truly Fluffy High Protein Pancakes | Meal Prep Ready.
04 -
Let the pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flours to fully hydrate and the baking powder to activate, contributing significantly to the light and fluffy texture of your pancakes.
05 -
Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of the 2 tbsp avocado oil. Ensure the griddle is hot enough for the batter to sizzle slightly upon contact, but not smoke.
06 -
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface before flipping. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing as needed.
07 -
Serve your Fluffy High Protein Pancakes | Meal Prep Ready immediately with your favorite toppings, or allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before stacking and storing for convenient meal prep throughout the week.
# Notes:
01 -
For easy meal prep, allow cooked pancakes to cool completely before stacking with parchment paper in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
02 -
Feel free to use unflavored or a different flavored whey protein powder (e.g., chocolate or strawberry) to customize your pancakes. Adjust maple syrup slightly if your protein powder is very sweet.
03 -
Elevate your pancakes with fresh berries, sliced banana, a dollop of extra Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and nutrition.
04 -
Avoid overmixing the batter; stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened is crucial. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will result in a more tender, fluffy pancake.
