Start your day with a delicious and protein-packed breakfast that will keep you full and energized! These Greek Yogurt Protein Pancakes are incredibly easy to make and taste amazing, making them a perfect choice for anyone looking to boost their protein intake without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients Needed

  • 1 cup (about 100g) rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (about 120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (about 60ml) unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Coconut oil or butter for greasing the pan

Step By Step Making

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the rolled oats and blend until they form a coarse flour.
  2. Add the protein powder, Greek yogurt, eggs, almond milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and optional honey or maple syrup to the blender.
  3. Blend until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip gently when you see bubbles forming on the surface.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
