Easy Protein Pancakes
An easy recipe for protein pancakes made with six simple ingredients. A quick 20-minute breakfast, you can also make them ahead of time and freeze.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon stevia glycerite ((equals 1/3 cup sugar))
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt ((not regular yogurt))
- 2 scoops unsweetened whey protein powder (not packed (about 40 grams))
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free if needed)
- Oil spray (for the griddle)
Directions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, stevia, and yogurt.
- 2
Add the protein powder, and whisk thoroughly, until completely smooth and blended. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl if needed.
- 3
Whisk in the baking powder. Then let the batter rest while you heat the griddle. It slightly thickens as it rests.
- 4
Heat a nonstick griddle or a large 14-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat (not higher). Spray with oil.
- 5
Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, pour mounds of the batter into the griddle. A double-burner griddle will likely accommodate 8 pancakes, while a skillet will hold 3 or 4.
- 6
Cook the pancakes until they bubble on top, one minute or less. It happens fast! Flip and cook them for just a few more (10-20) seconds on the second side. It's very important not to overcook them or they will turn out dry and rubbery.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm, and cook the remaining pancakes. Serve immediately.
