Servings: 6 large pancakes (10-12 small pancakes)
Ingredients
Pancake Mix
- 1 ¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free
- ¾ cup whole milk Greek Yogurt plain
- ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp protein powder
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp molasses
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla Greek Yogurt
- 1 tsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk or milk of choice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend it up: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the batter is smooth and pourable, about 30–45 seconds.
- Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for about 10-15 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or coconut oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake.
- Flip & finish: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar,vanilla Greek Yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the sugar fully dissolves and the glaze becomes smooth and glossy, this may take about 30–40 seconds. If still too thick add another 1 tsp milk. Drizzle over warm pancakes a along with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
Recipe Tips:
- Watch the heat. Molasses darkens fast, so medium heat works best.
- Don’t skip the rest time. This prevents dense pancake centers.
- If your centers turn out gummy, lower the heat or spread the batter slightly.
- Want stronger gingerbread flavor? Add a pinch more ginger or cinnamon.
- Top with maple syrup, extra yogurt glaze, or a sprinkle of chopped pecans for a little crunch.
