Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the protein powder, oats, and baking powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients. In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs, then add them to the dry mixture. Stir everything together until a thick but pourable batter forms.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of cooking oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula, then cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, maple syrup, or nut butter.
Notes
- You can substitute oats with oat flour for a smoother texture if preferred.
- If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk or water to thin it out slightly.
- Use a non-stick skillet and moderate heat to prevent burning the pancakes.
- For added flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter.
- Make sure to mix the batter well to avoid clumps of protein powder.
