  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings (approximately 9 pancakes)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (90g) oat flour
  • 1/3 cup (32g) plain unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1 Tbsp (9g) coconut sugar or white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) plain fat free Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, whey protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg for about 20 seconds. Make a well in the center.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, water, avocado oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and whisk until combined. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  4. Heat Pan or Griddle: Preheat a non-stick skillet or electric griddle to medium heat or 350°F. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray such as avocado oil spray.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Scoop 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot griddle, spreading if too thick, to about 4.5 inches wide. Cook for approximately 1 minute until golden brown on the bottom.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown and just cooked through. The center can have slight moisture as it will firm up with residual heat. Adjust heat if browning occurs too quickly.
  7. Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack and repeat with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.

Notes

  • Letting the batter rest helps pancakes thicken and results in fluffier texture.
  • If batter is too thick, use the back of the measuring cup to spread pancakes evenly.
  • You can replace coconut sugar with white sugar as preferred.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easier flipping and cooking.
  • Light moisture in the pancake center is normal and will set as it cools.
  • Adjust cooking temperature to avoid burning pancakes.
