  • Total Time: 15
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or nut-based)
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Create a deep well in the center of the dry mixture.
Pour the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the central well.
Whisk the eggs gently within the well, then gradually whisk outward to incorporate the dry ingredients.
Mix until just combined and no large lumps remain.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease the surface.
Pour small portions of batter onto the hot pan.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Notes

Substitute flour with oat flour for a gluten-friendly version. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise. Do not overmix the batter to maintain light and airy pancakes.
