→ For Cooking

10 - Butter or oil for greasing the pan

# How To Make It:

01 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and fully incorporated.
02 - Combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sweetener in a separate bowl.
03 - Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffy texture.
04 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
05 - Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on surface and edges appear set.
06 - Flip pancakes and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and completely cooked through.
07 - Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. Serve warm with preferred toppings.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste like real pancakes, not health food compromises
  • The protein keeps you full straight through to lunch
  • They come together in under 30 minutes with ingredients you probably have
02 -
  • Overmixing makes tough, dense pancakes—stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking results in fluffier pancakes
  • Medium heat is crucial—too hot burns the outside before the inside cooks
03 -
  • Blend your own oat flour from rolled oats for the freshest flavor and best texture
  • Test the pan temperature with a single pancake first—adjust heat if it browns too fast
