Recipe Ingredients
Here’s a peek at the key ingredients for these protein pancakes.
Greek Yogurt: This style of yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt. Since it is strained of excess liquid, the resulting yogurt is thick, tangy, and protein rich.
Baking Mix: The classic Bisquick™ baking mix makes these pancakes a cinch to prep and guarantees a perfectly fluffy and delicious pancake.
Milk: Milk makes the batter less thick, preventing a heavy, dense pancake. We call for 2% in this recipe but really any kind will work.
Eggs: Eggs bring additional lift to the pancakes, as well as richness and protein.
Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Butter and syrup.
How to Make Bisquick™ Protein Pancakes
Here’s a brief look at how to make perfect Protein Pancakes.
1. Make the Batter
Since Greek yogurt is extra thick, the milk, eggs, and butter help thin out the batter. Try not to overmix the batter, it should be mostly smooth with some lumps throughout.
2. Cook the Pancakes
Cook the pancakes over medium heat in a nonstick skillet so they don’t brown too fast before flipping. You can brush the surface of the skillet lightly with butter for extra non-stick insurance if you like. The pancakes are ready to flip when bubbles appear on the surface.
3. Serve and Enjoy
Serve these pancakes warm with butter and syrup or boost the protein even more with a smear of peanut butter.
