Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond milk
- Maple syrup for serving
- Olive oil or cooking spray for the skillet
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the almond milk. Mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold the diced apples into the batter.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- For gluten-free pancakes, substitute whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Replace the protein powder with a plant-based protein option for a vegan version.
- Use coconut milk or oat milk instead of almond milk for a different flavor.
- Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
