This Protein Powder Pancakes recipe is a delicious twist on classic pancakes. They're made with protein powder, wheat germ and flaxseed to give them a hefty dose of nutrients needed to fuel your morning and jump start your day.
In a large mixing bowl combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, protein powder, flaxseed, wheat germ, baking powder, coconut sugar, and salt.
Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and add milk, extra virgin olive oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix with a whisk until smooth.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat on a griddle or frying pan. Fill the pancake batter dispenser or souple ladle with batter and pour onto the griddle in batches.
When bubbles begin to form, flip pancakes with a spatula (about 2 minutes). Cook on the other side for about 2 more minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
Serve with your choice of toppings, such as Greek yogurt, sliced bananas, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and maple syrup.
Notes
Tip 1: To make your pancakes extra fluffy, whip the eggs until foamy prior to adding to the batter. When cooking, cover the pan with a lid. The heat will make them rise higher than without being covered.Tip 2: The pancake batter should be thick and not runny. You may need to adjust the amount of milk used for the type and brand of protein powder you choose.Storing: Store at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Pancakes are freezer-friendly for around 6 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or use a freezer storage bag. Defrost them overnight at room temperature or in the microwave.Protein powder: Use your favorite type of protein, flavored or unflavored.
