Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour (finely ground, blanched preferred)
  • Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored; whey or plant-based)
  • Baking powder
  • Fine sea salt
  • Eggs
  • Milk of choice (dairy or unsweetened almond, oat, or soy)
  • Greek yogurt or mashed ripe banana (for moisture)
  • Maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Butter, ghee, or neutral oil (for the pan)
  • Optional add-ins: cinnamon, mini chocolate chips, blueberries, lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the pan. Set a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Load the blender. Add 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1 scoop (about 25–30 g) protein powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Then add 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or 1/2 mashed banana), 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  • Blend until smooth. Blend 15–25 seconds, scraping the sides if needed. The batter should be pourable but not thin. If too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, blend in a tablespoon more almond flour.
  • Rest briefly. Let the batter sit 2–3 minutes to let the baking powder activate and the almond flour hydrate.
  • Cook the pancakes. Pour 1/4-cup portions onto the hot pan. Cook until the edges look set and small bubbles form, 2–3 minutes. Flip gently and cook 1–2 minutes more, until golden and springy.
  • Finish and serve. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the batch. Serve with berries, a pat of butter, and warm maple syrup.
