→ For Cooking

10 - Butter or oil for greasing the pan

# Directions:

01 - Whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and fully incorporated.
02 - Mix oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sweetener in a separate bowl until uniform.
03 - Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
04 - Heat non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
05 - Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges appear set, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
06 - Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. Serve warm with preferred toppings.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These pancakes keep you full for hours without that heavy breakfast crash
  • The texture is incredibly light and fluffy, not dense like you might expect from protein pancakes
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter makes these pancakes tough, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest for five minutes before cooking helps the oat flour absorb liquid and improves texture
03 -
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch so everyone eats together
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the batter for evenly sized pancakes
