Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Mix the batter until smooth so the protein powder is fully blended.
  • Let the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking so it thickens slightly.
  • Start with 2 tablespoons of liquid, then add more only if the batter is too thick.
  • Cook over medium heat and flip when bubbles form on top.
  • Make-ahead tip: cook extra pancakes and refrigerate or freeze them, then reheat for quick breakfasts during the week.
Make ahead of time. One of the best things about this recipe is how well these pancakes freeze! Make a big batch and freeze for busy mornings. See How to Freeze Pancakes for tips.  
Store. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
