Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional sweetener: 1 teaspoon honey or a few drops of stevia

Cooking

  • Nonstick spray or a small amount of coconut oil for the pan
  • Fresh fruit or extra Greek yogurt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare oat flour: Add the rolled oats to a blender and pulse until a fine flour forms, which will help create a smooth pancake batter.
  2. Make batter: Add Greek yogurt, egg whites, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and optional sweetener to the blender with the oat flour. Blend until smooth and thick.
  3. Rest batter: Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes so it can slightly thicken and improve the pancake texture.
  4. Preheat pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with nonstick spray or a small amount of coconut oil.
  5. Cook pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Flip and finish cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with fresh fruit, extra Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

  • To increase protein content, add 1 tablespoon of unflavored or vanilla protein powder to the batter.
  • If using sweetened Greek yogurt, reduce or omit any added sweetener like honey or stevia.
  • Pancakes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for meal prep convenience.
