Ingredients

1½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup vanilla protein powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt full fat
1¼ cup milk
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup optional* see note
non-stick spray

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and olive oil.
Add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and whisk to combine, making sure to stop when just combined. Do not over mix the pancake batter.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with a non-stick spray (or butter or oil).
Working in batches, add ¼ cup of pancake batter to your skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and tiny bubbles appear around the edges. You can gently lift a corner with a thin spatula to take a look.
Using a spatula, flip them and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the rest of your batter and serve with your favorite pancake toppings.

Notes

Recipe makes 12 pancakes.
I don't usually add maple syrup to my pancake batter as I serve the pancakes with maple syrup, so the sweetness is added afterwards for me. If you top your pancakes with less maple syrup, I would recommend adding a tablespoon of maple syrup to your batter.
