Delicious Apple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 medium apple, grated
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for cooking)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (for serving)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional topping)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, grated apple, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

    Blend oats into flour for a smoother texture.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  3. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

    This allows the oats to absorb moisture.
  4. Heat the Pan

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little coconut oil to coat the pan.

    Ensure the pan is hot enough to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.

    Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.
  6. Serve and Enjoy

    Serve pancakes warm with Greek yogurt, chopped nuts, or extra apple slices on top.

    Drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness.
