Protein Power Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 scoops whey protein powder
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or additional butter for cooking

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, whey protein powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
7. Serve the protein power pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, maple syrup, or yogurt.
8. Enjoy your protein-packed breakfast!
