How to Make Protein Pancakes
In a bowl, mix oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, vanilla, and sweetener.
Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Let batter rest for 2–3 minutes.
Cook Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it.
