Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup greek or skyr yogurt I use whole milk vanilla
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp milk I used whole

Instructions

  • First, either heat up a griddle to ~375 degrees or heat a pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
  • Blend your oats into a fine oat flour. You can do this by blending them in a blender for ~30-60 seconds.
  • Add you oats, baking powder and sugar to a large bowl and whisk together.
  • Next, add in your greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla and milk. Whisking again until everything is mixed well.
  • Spray your griddle or pan with nonstick spray and take ~1/4 cup of the protein pancake batter and pour it onto the hot griddle/pan. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Cook these for ~2 minutes on each side. They won't really bubble up like a normal pancake will, so take a peek on the under side to see if they're golden brown, then flip.
  • Remove your cooked pancakes from the griddle, dress them up however you like and enjoy!!!!

Notes

  • Flour Substitutions: I have only tested this recipe with oat flour. You likely can use all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour or 1:1 gluten free flour. I'd recommend using ~3/4 cup of it and then adding more milk as needed to get a pancake consistency batter.
  • Yogurt Substitutions: I don't recommend using regular yogurt. Your pancake batter will be much thinner (likely needing you to omit the milk) and they won't really be protein pancakes then. They do make non-dairy Greek style yogurts now. The thing that you'll want to check if the protein content in them. Greek yogurt (the dairy kind) has ~15g per serving. Typically plant based versions are much lower. This will obviously impact the protein content of your protein pancakes.
  • Storing Leftovers: To store leftover protein pancakes without protein powder or banana just pop them in a container and keep in the fridge for about 5-7 days. To store in the freezer I recommend first freezing them flat on a baking sheet and then placing them into a freezer bag. This will prevent them from sticking together. These will stay fresh for 2-3 months.
