This is a recipe for high-protein pancakes with oats and protein powder. The recipe is just below, but you can scroll down for additional tips, tricks, and info.
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
8 oz whole milk
2 Tbsps white granulated sugar
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 tsp baking powder
Add the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, and protein powder to a large bowl and mix well. I like to use a fork here, but something like a whisk will also work.
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix until just combined.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tsp of oil* to the pan, then 2-3 scoops** of pancake batter - one scoop per pancake. If your pan is on the smaller side, consider frying only 1-2 pancakes at a time.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, then about 1 minute on the second side. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate, then repeat - adding oil as necessary - until you’re out of batter.
Makes about 6 medium pancakes.
NOTES
* You can use any neutral oil you’d like, but I wouldn’t use butter here. Any leftover butter will heat up and inevitably burn. However, clarified butter and ghee should work fine. Of course, regular butter is great on top after frying :)
** I like to use a 1/4 cup measuring cup for this. For easy cleanup, spray the scoop with nonstick spray; this helps the batter come out cleanly and not stick.
ADDITIONAL INFO
These vanilla oat protein pancakes are hearty, not too sweet, and loaded with protein. The addition of both oats and protein powder make these an easy addition to any high-protein diet.
To make these pancakes, you’ll need things like rolled oats, eggs or an egg substitute, and protein powder.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
While this recipe calls for rolled oats, quick or instant oats should also work. I wouldn’t use steel cut oats; they likely wouldn’t be done after the modest cooking time.
You only need a single large egg here, but substitutes also work. Both flax and chia eggs should work, although the results won’t be quite the same. “Egg beaters” and liquid egg whites should also work, but again, the results will be slightly different.
You can use whatever protein powder you have on hand, so use what you like. Flavors like chocolate would be great if you don’t want vanilla, or you can use plain.
The powder adds a lot of flavor, so if you go with plain/unflavored, I’d have it with some kind of berry sauce to help it along. While the powder is mostly for flavor, I’m not sure what you’d use as a substitute. I also can’t recommend leaving it out. You could try adding more flour, but I can’t guarantee it will work.
HOW TO MAKE IT
Making this recipe is simple - especially if you’ve made pancakes before!
You’ll first add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix them well. I like to use a fork here, but pretty much anything will work.
You’ll then add the wet ingredients, and mix them until everything is just combined. You may want to beat the egg beforehand so you’re not fighting it while mixing the other ingredients.
Once mixed, you’ll fry the pancakes in a neutral flavored fat, like vegetable oil. You can also use clarified butter or ghee.
I wouldn’t use margarine or non clarified butter; they tend to burn after prolonged exposure to heat. If you have to use them, be sure to wipe out the pan after each batch of pancakes to keep things from tasting burnt.
