These fluffy protein powder pancakes with creamy Greek yogurt offer a quick, healthy, and delicious breakfast option that balances protein, moderate carbs, and a touch of indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (50g) vanilla-flavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (dairy, almond, or oat)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain creamy Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan (coconut oil or butter recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup vanilla protein powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until slightly frothy, then whisk in ¾ cup milk, ½ cup creamy plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and optional 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add a little butter or oil and swirl to coat.
  5. Using a ¼-cup ladle, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set.
  6. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Keep pancakes warm on a plate covered loosely with foil if making multiple batches.
  8. Serve stacked pancakes topped with a generous dollop of creamy Greek yogurt and optionally drizzle with honey or fresh berries.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) if making multiple batches. Adjust batter thickness with milk or flour as needed.
