# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution, forming the essential base for your High Protein Pancake Bowls for Effortless Meal Prep.
02 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until well combined. This liquid mixture will bring moisture and flavor to your pancake batter, ensuring a delicious outcome.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat your griddle.
04 -
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat (about 350°F). Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
05 -
In a small bowl, combine 2 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup pure maple syrup. Stir until smooth and well incorporated. This creamy, slightly sweet swirl is a key component of your High Protein Pancake Bowls for Effortless Meal Prep.
06 -
Divide the cooked pancakes among 4 meal prep containers or bowls. Top each portion of pancakes with an equal amount of the prepared Greek yogurt swirl. This layering creates a delightful texture for your High Protein Pancake Bowls.
07 -
Evenly distribute 2 cups mixed berries, 1/4 cup sliced almonds, and 2 tbsp chia seeds over the yogurt layer in each bowl. These crunchy and fruity toppings complete your High Protein Pancake Bowls for Effortless Meal Prep, adding flavor and nutrients.
# Notes:
01 -
Store assembled pancake bowls in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. They are delicious cold or gently warmed.
02 -
Feel free to swap mixed berries for other fruits like sliced bananas, peaches, or blueberries. Any nut butter can replace almonds for a different crunch.
03 -
For an extra protein kick, you can add a scoop of collagen peptides to the pancake batter or a tablespoon of hemp seeds to the toppings.
04 -
If you prefer warm pancakes, gently reheat them in the microwave before adding the cold yogurt and toppings for a delightful temperature contrast.
