About this recipe

Protein pancakes are a quick and easy breakfast option that packs a punch with protein, making them perfect for those busy mornings. This recipe is designed for efficiency, allowing you to prepare a large batch of pancake mix ahead of time, so you can whip up a fresh stack in just 10 minutes.

Josh Cortis, the creator of this recipe, emphasizes the importance of using a blend of whey and casein protein for the best texture and flavor. By making your own oat flour from rolled oats, you can save money and ensure freshness.

Ingredient notes

  • Use a 50/50 blend of vanilla whey and casein protein powder for the best results.
  • You can substitute tapioca flour with cornstarch if needed.

Tips from Josh Cortis's video

  • Make a large batch of pancake mix ahead of time by blending whole grain rolled oats into a powder to create oat flour.
  • For a smoother batter, mix all dry ingredients thoroughly before adding wet ingredients.
  • If you're in a hurry, pour all the batter into a large skillet to make one giant protein pancake instead of individual ones.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. 1

    Make a giant batch of pancake mix by blending whole grain rolled oats into a powder to create oat flour.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix the oat flour with vanilla whey protein powder, vanilla casein protein powder, tapioca flour (or cornstarch), and baking powder until thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Transfer the pancake mix into a storage container and keep it in your cupboard for future use.

  4. 4

    To make pancakes, take 56 grams of the pancake mix and combine it in a bowl with 60 grams of liquid egg whites, 75 grams of nonfat plain Greek yogurt, and water to achieve the desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Mix the ingredients together until smooth.

  6. 6

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium to medium-high heat and spray with oil.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter onto the skillet and cook like regular pancakes until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Heads up — we had to guess a little:

  • The quantity of water is inferred to achieve a pourable consistency.
