It’s made with simple ingredients, takes just a few minutes to whip up, and is perfect for those mornings when you want something warm and satisfying without spending forever in the kitchen.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Balanced with protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs

  • Super customizable based on your diet (dairy-free, gluten-free, etc.)

  • No added sugar — unless you add it on top!

  • Ideal for hormone-supportive meal prep or a cozy weekend brunch for one

Ingredients

  • 1 egg

  • 4 tbsp milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)

  • 1 scoop protein powder (vegan or whey – vegan works best for texture)

  • 2 tbsp flour (whole wheat or oat)

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp olive oil or coconut oil (plus extra for pan)

  • Dash of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.

  2. Add in the protein powder, flour, baking powder, oil, and cinnamon. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix! Add more milk if mixture seems too thick.

  3. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with a little oil.

  4. Pour in the batter and cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form and edges start to set.

  5. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
    Note: If using whey protein, be cautious not to overcook — it can get dry.

  6. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like Greek yogurt, nut butter, berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Topping Ideas:

  • Sliced banana + almond butter

  • Coconut yogurt + chia jam

  • Blueberries + a sprinkle of hemp seeds

  • Maple drizzle + cinnamon apples

Whether you’re trying to balance blood sugar, support metabolism, or just eat more protein — this pancake checks all the boxes. Plus, it's easy enough to make on your busiest mornings.
