Instructions
Gather All Ingredients
Measure out the protein powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, Greek yogurt, eggs, almond milk, and any optional mix‑ins you plan to use.
Time: PT2M
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon until evenly distributed.
Time: PT3M
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, and 1/4 cup almond milk to the dry mixture. Whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth and thick.

The batter should be pourable but not watery. Add additional almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a thin pancake batter consistency.
Time: PT2M

Time: PT3M

Cook Pancakes with Mix‑Ins
Pour ~1/4 cup batter per pancake. Sprinkle your chosen mix‑ins (chocolate chips, blueberries, banana slices, almond slices) onto the surface before the batter sets.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 350°F
Flip and Finish
When bubbles form around the edges and the top looks set (about 2 minutes), flip the pancake and cook another 1‑2 minutes until golden brown.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: 350°F
Serve Warm
Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate, keep covered, and serve with pure organic maple syrup or your favorite low‑carb topping.
