Ingredients
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
- 120 ml oat flour or blended oats
- 60 ml liquid egg whites
- 60 ml Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 5 ml baking powder
- 1 shot of espresso or strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- For the cream layer: 120 ml non-fat Greek yogurt mixed with 5 ml honey or sweetener of choice
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the protein powder, oat flour, egg whites, Greek yogurt, and baking powder until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour small amounts of batter to form 4-5 small pancakes.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the centers are fully set.
- Lightly dip each pancake into the cooled espresso (do not soak them through, just a quick dip).
- Stack the pancakes, spreading a layer of the sweetened Greek yogurt mixture between each layer.
- Dust the top of the stack generously with cocoa powder before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately while the pancakes are still warm and the coffee flavor is fresh. Pair with extra espresso on the side or a few fresh berries for contrast.
