Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium eggs
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup strained Greek yogurt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon organic maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or griddle

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Batter
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the three eggs. This is where the magic begins.
  2. Once the eggs are frothy, add in the melted coconut oil and the strained Greek yogurt. This combination will make your pancakes super fluffy and full of flavor.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
  1. Now, let’s stack in the dry ingredients. Sprinkle in a cup of old-fashioned oats, 1/4 cup of vanilla-flavored protein powder, and 2 1/4 teaspoons of baking soda. The baking soda is key for making your pancakes rise beautifully.
Step 3: Sweeten the Mix
  1. Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of organic maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla essence. This duo brings a sweet fragrance to the mix. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for that touch of warmth.
Step 4: Combine and Rest
  1. Gently mix everything together. Avoid over-mixing; you want a slightly lumpy batter. Once mixed, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This is crucial. Resting allows the oats to absorb moisture, making your pancakes perfectly chewy.
Step 5: Heat the Pan
  1. While your batter rests, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. A splash of coconut oil on the pan will ensure the pancakes cook evenly.
Step 6: Cook the Pancakes
  1. Once the pan is hot, pour about a 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, around 3-4 minutes. Flip them gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Step 7: Serve Warm
  1. Stack them high on a plate, and do not hesitate to serve with your favorite toppings. Greek yogurt and fresh berries, check. A drizzle of maple syrup, check. You’re in for a treat!
