Ingredients
- 1 cup 150g fresh strawberries, diced (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup 120g oat flour
- 2 tbsp 14g ground flaxseed
- 1 scoop 25g vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp 15ml honey or maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup 240ml unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or 1 tsp coconut oil
- Substitution: Use gluten-free flour blend; flax egg for vegan; sugar-free sweetener.
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients
- I whisk 1 cup oat flour, 2 tbsp flaxseed, 1 scoop protein powder, and 1 tsp baking powder in a large bowl for these Strawberry Protein Pancakes.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a small bowl, I beat 1 egg, then whisk in 1 cup almond milk, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth for these protein-packed flapjacks.
Combine Wet and Dry
- I pour the wet mix into the dry, stirring gently until just combined, then fold in 1 cup diced strawberries for these strawberry morning bites.
Cook Pancakes
- I heat a skillet over medium, grease lightly, and pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. I cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, flip, and cook 1–2 minutes for these healthy breakfast pancakes.
Serve
- I stack pancakes, top with extra strawberries, and drizzle with honey for this simple recipe.
Notes
- Protein powder options: Whey for fluffiness, plant-based for vegan, or collagen for neutral flavor.
- Low-calorie tips: Use unsweetened almond milk, skip syrup, and opt for mashed strawberries as topping.
- Variations: Blueberries, mashed banana, chocolate protein powder, or chopped nuts.
- Meal prep: Store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze in layers; reheat in toaster or skillet.
- Pairings: Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs, or a protein smoothie.
- Vegan option: Replace egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).
- Storage: Refrigerate in airtight container or freeze for longer storage.
