Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ¼ cup oat flour
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup liquid egg whites
- ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- A splash of vanilla extract
Other
- Cooking spray
- Optional: sugar-free syrup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, liquid egg whites, nonfat Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, evenly combined batter.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up properly, ensuring even cooking.
- Apply Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the heated pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote browning.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour small portions of the batter into the pan to form individual pancakes. Cook each pancake until the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook the other side until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve: Plate the pancakes and add a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt on top. Optionally sprinkle with additional cinnamon and serve with sugar-free syrup if desired.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter.
- Use a non-stick pan to avoid adding extra fat from oils or butter.
- Adjust the cinnamon amount according to your taste preference.
- These pancakes freeze well; store in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or microwave.
- Optional toppings like fresh berries or nuts can enhance flavor and nutrition.
