Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup flour (spelt, white, gluten free all purpose, or oat flour)
- 1/3 cup protein powder (26g)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- scant 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener of choice (optional, omit for savory)
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk of choice or water (adjust as needed)
- 2 tsp oil or nut butter (optional, omit for fat-free)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, stir together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar or sweetener until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk of choice or water and oil or nut butter. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth pancake batter. Add more liquid if the batter is too thick to achieve a pourable consistency.
- Rest Batter: For super fluffy pancakes, allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes to let the leavening activate and the batter thicken slightly.
- Prepare Skillet: Grease a nonstick skillet well and heat it over medium heat. Test the pan’s readiness by flicking in a drop of water; it should sizzle immediately.
- Cook Pancakes: Lower the heat to low. Pour small ladles of the batter onto the skillet to make smaller pancakes that will cook evenly. Cook until the edges look dry, then flip with a spatula and cook for an additional minute or until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat and Re-grease: Re-grease the skillet after each batch to prevent sticking and ensure golden pancakes.
Notes
- You may substitute the flour with alternatives like spelt, white, gluten free all purpose, or oat flour depending on your dietary preferences.
- Adjust the liquid quantity based on the protein powder and flour used to achieve the right batter consistency.
- For a fat-free version, omit the oil or nut butter.
- Try serving your pancakes with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or vegan butter for extra flavor.
