# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 cup unflavored or vanilla whey protein isolate, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt. This forms the fluffy foundation for your High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes for an Energizing Breakfast.
02 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until frothy. Then, add 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for batter), and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries. Overmixing will result in tough pancakes, so handle with care for the best High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes for an Energizing Breakfast.
04 -
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tbsp coconut oil, swirling to coat the surface. Ensure the griddle is evenly heated to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust on your pancakes.
05 -
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface before flipping. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil if needed.
06 -
Stack your warm High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes for an Energizing Breakfast. Drizzle generously with 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (for serving) and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Serve immediately for a truly satisfying and energizing start to your day.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not overmix the batter; lumps are perfectly fine and contribute to a fluffier pancake texture. Overmixing develops gluten, leading to dense pancakes.
02 -
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster, microwave, or on a griddle.
03 -
Feel free to substitute almond milk with any milk of choice, and Greek yogurt can be swapped for cottage cheese blended smooth for an extra protein boost.
04 -
Get creative with toppings! Try sliced bananas, a dollop of extra Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and nutrition.
