Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or almond milk)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • Optional: powdered sugar or maple syrup for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk and melted butter. Add honey or maple syrup if using.
  3. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto skillet for each pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  6. Flip pancakes gently and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Keep cooked pancakes warm covered with foil while finishing the batch.
  8. Serve stacked pancakes topped with fresh berries and optional drizzle of maple syrup or sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. Use medium heat to avoid burning. If batter thickens, add a splash of milk. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
