Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil (for batter)
  • Butter or oil (for cooking)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, cooled espresso, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  5. Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  9. Serve immediately stacked high with your favorite maple syrup.

Notes

  • For a richer espresso flavor, use less milk and add an extra splash of espresso.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • You can prepare the espresso ahead of time to speed up your morning prep.
