# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. This forms the foundational dry mix for your High Protein Pancake Bowls for Effortless Breakfast. Ensure no lumps remain for a smooth batter.
02 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp maple syrup (for batter). Mix until well combined and the egg is fully incorporated, creating a uniform liquid mixture.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are perfectly fine. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
04 -
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt and 2 tbsp maple syrup (for drizzling). Stir until smooth and well blended. This creamy element is key to the deliciousness and texture of your High Protein Pancake Bowls for Effortless Breakfast.
05 -
Divide the cooked pancakes among 4 serving bowls. Dollop each bowl generously with the prepared creamy Greek yogurt mixture. Add 4 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter (1 tbsp per bowl), swirling gently for a beautiful presentation and rich flavor.
06 -
Top each bowl generously with 2 cups mixed berries (divided evenly among the bowls). Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped almonds or walnuts and 2 tbsp hemp seeds for added crunch and nutrition. Serve your High Protein Pancake Bowls for Effortless Breakfast immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Meal Prep Tip: Cook the pancakes ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly or enjoy cold in your bowls.
02 -
Substitution Tip: Feel free to swap out berries for other fruits like sliced bananas, peaches, or cherries. Any nut butter works, or try a seed butter for a nut-free option.
03 -
Protein Boost: For an extra protein kick, consider stirring an additional scoop of protein powder into the Greek yogurt mixture before drizzling.
04 -
Flavor Variation: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pancake batter for a warm, spiced flavor profile.
