Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (120 g) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder (or plant-based protein)
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk of choice (as needed for batter consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen; if frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1 teaspoon oil or butter for the pan (or a quick spray)
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, extra yogurt, lemon zest, or a drizzle of honey

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
  • Add protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick to pour, add another splash of milk.
  • Fold in the blueberries with a light hand to avoid overmixing.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium and lightly grease it. When a drop of water sizzles, it’s ready.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form and edges look set.
  • Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings. Keep portions modest to stay under 400 calories.
