🥞 Vanilla Protein Pancakes with Strawberry & Blueberry Topping

Servings: 1
Makes: 4–5 small pancakes
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 5–7 minutes
Protein: ~31 g before toppings

📝 Ingredients

For the pancakes

• 2 large eggs — ~12 g protein
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder — ~17 g protein
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt — ~2 g protein
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1–2 tbsp milk or water, as needed
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of cinnamon
• Tiny pinch of salt
• Nonstick cooking spray

🍓🫐 Fresh topping

• 3–4 strawberries, sliced
• ¼ cup blueberries
• 1 tbsp Greek yogurt, optional
• 1–2 tsp sugar-free maple syrup, optional
• Optional: a few small chocolate chips for extra sweetness

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the batter: Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a mixing bowl.
2. Whisk well until everything is combined. The batter will be thicker than regular pancake batter.
3. Adjust the consistency: Add 1 tbsp milk or water and mix. If the batter is still too thick to pour easily, add another tablespoon.
4. Let it rest for 1–2 minutes. This gives the baking powder time to activate and helps create softer pancakes.
5. Heat your pan over low to medium-low heat. Lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Cook the pancakes: Pour a small amount of batter into the pan to make 4–5 pancakes. Keeping them small makes them easier to flip.
7. Cook for about 1½–2½ minutes, until the edges look set and small bubbles appear on the surface.
8. Flip gently and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
9. Stack and decorate: Place the pancakes on a plate and layer the sliced strawberries and blueberries over the top.
10. Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a light drizzle of sugar-free syrup if desired.

🍓🫐 Serving idea

For a pretty café-style presentation, stack the pancakes high, arrange strawberry slices around the top, scatter blueberries between them, and finish with a tiny drizzle of syrup.
