Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or griddle

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

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the three eggs. This is where the magic begins.
  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!
