Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (use gluten-free if preferred)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, or regular milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • For topping:
  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for serving)
  • Optional: drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oat flour by adding 1 cup (90g) rolled oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until fine flour-like powder, about 20-30 seconds.
  2. Add 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt to the oat flour and pulse to combine evenly.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup (60ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup if using. Blend until smooth and pourable. Add more milk if batter is too thick.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  6. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Serve pancakes stacked, topped with fresh mixed berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and an optional drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better blending. Don’t over-blend the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes if possible. Control heat to medium to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once when edges are set. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven if making a big batch.
