Optional Ingredients

  2. Start mixing the batter with a fork or spatula until smooth. If the batter feels too thick, gradually add one tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the right consistency. This depends on the protein powder used.

Notes

Protein powder choice
  • Casein, whey-casein blends or vegan protein powders make the pancakes softer. I used a whey-casein blend.
  • Whey protein, especially whey isolate, tends to dry out when heated.
  • Use a flavored protein powder such as vanilla or chocolate. If unflavored, sweeten the batter with maple syrup or honey to your likings.
Serving size
  • This recipe makes a single serving. For more people, just increase all the ingredients proportionally based on the number of servings you need.
