1 scoop protein powder Choose your favorite flavor.
1 teaspoon baking powder
to taste sweetener Optional, adjust according to preference.

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg or egg substitute Substitute with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg.

Method

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and sweetener.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Cooking

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease if necessary.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter for fluffy pancakes. Adjust sweetness with natural options like banana or applesauce. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of almond milk.
