Maple Protein Pancakes Fluffy (Printable)
Fluffy pancakes with maple and protein, ideal for breakfast or post-workout. Quick, wholesome, and easy to prepare.
# What's Needed:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup whole wheat flour
02 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add milk, pure maple syrup, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely combined.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Gently stir until just blended; avoid overmixing—the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
04 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with additional melted butter.
05 - Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form and edges begin to set. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer until golden brown and fully cooked through.
06 - Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. Serve warm, garnished with extra maple syrup and preferred toppings.
