2 Large Eggs

1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/2 cup Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
09 -
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

→ Golden Finish & Flavor Boost

2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (for cooking)
12 -
1 cup Fresh Mixed Berries (for serving)
13 -
1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup (for serving)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder, 1 tbsp Baking Powder, 1/2 tsp Baking Soda, and 1/4 tsp Sea Salt. This forms the fluffy foundation for your High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes for a Quick Breakfast.
02 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk 2 Large Eggs. Then, add 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk, 1/2 cup Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, and 2 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup. Whisk until well combined.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing will result in tough pancakes, not the High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes for a Quick Breakfast you desire.
04 -
Heat a large non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Melt 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, brushing it evenly over the surface. Ensure the pan is hot enough for a quick sizzle when a drop of water is added.
05 -
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 appear on the surface before flipping. Repeat with remaining batter to create all your High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes for a Quick Breakfast.
06 -
Stack the warm pancakes on plates. Garnish generously with 1 cup Fresh Mixed Berries and drizzle with 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup. Serve these delicious High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes for a Quick Breakfast immediately for the best experience.
# Notes:
01 -
Resting Batter: For even fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to activate fully.
02 -
Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster, microwave, or on a griddle.
03 -
Protein Powder Swap: Feel free to use unflavored whey protein powder and adjust the vanilla extract and maple syrup to taste if you prefer.
04 -
Serving Suggestions: Elevate your pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a slice of banana for extra flavor and texture.
