Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, blend the plain full-fat Greek yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick spray.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until browned on both sides.
  7. Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter.
