Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pancake Fillings: Prepare any pancake fillings first, placing sliced fruit out on the table in bowls. Once the pancakes are cooked, you'll want to have everything ready to eat!
  2. Mix: In a large bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 2 large eggs. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir just until combined.
  3. Cook: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, pour ¼ cup portions of batter onto the skillet. Flip once bubbles form on top, cooking until both sides are golden brown.
  4. Shape: While pancake is still very warm, gently shape it into a taco (if pancakes crack when you fold them, cover them in a damp paper towel while you finish cooking them to help steam them, making them more pliable.Stuff with your favorite fillings and enjoy!

Notes

  • Flavor Ideas:
  • Can the protein powder replace all of the flour? Some protein pancakes use only protein powder instead of flour. But, I found that adding a little bit of flour helps make them fluffy and provides some carbohydrates to keep you energized. With all the protein powder, the pancakes can become gummy.
  • Strawberries with vanilla Greek yogurt and sliced almonds
  • Blueberries with whipped cream and lemon zest
  • Sliced bananas with almond butter and cinnamon
