The Best Protein Pancakes Recipe

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup skim milk, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 egg, 2 Tbsp melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

In a separate, smaller bowl, mix the 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and 2 tsp baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, whisking until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Pour about a cup of batter into the hot skillet for each pancake. You'll see small bubbles form on the surface.

Cook for about 1 minute per side, or until the edges begin to firm up and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until it's also golden and cooked through, about another 1 minute, for a total cooking time of about 2 minutes per pancake.
