# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup whole wheat flour
02 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
03 - 1½ teaspoons baking powder
04 - ¼ teaspoon baking soda
05 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 cup low-fat milk
08 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Mix-Ins

10 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries
11 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter

→ Serving Components

12 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
13 - ½ cup fresh mixed berries
14 - 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
03 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving some lumps in the batter.
04 - Gently fold mixed berries into the batter with minimal stirring to avoid crushing the fruit.
05 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.
06 - Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set.
07 - Flip each pancake and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
08 - Arrange warm pancakes on plates and top with Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Protein actually tastes amazing when it's baked into something fluffy instead of powdery and bland.
  • You get real berries bursting in every bite, making it feel indulgent instead of like you're punishing yourself before work.
  • These come together faster than your coffee, so mornings become less chaotic.
02 -
  • If your batter sits more than five minutes, it loses its lift—the leavening starts working immediately, so work quickly after mixing.
  • Medium heat is non-negotiable; too high and the outside burns before the inside cooks, too low and you get rubbery pancakes that feel heavy instead of fluffy.
03 -
  • If you're meal prepping, these freeze beautifully and actually taste better than some fresh pancakes you'd rush through mid-week.
  • Add the berries right when the bubbles form on top instead of at the beginning—it keeps them from sinking and creates those pockets of flavor everyone remembers.
