Pancake Day is just around the corner, and if you’re looking to flip your breakfast game, we’ve got the perfect recipe for you. Say hello to Protein Pancakes made with Overnight Oats! This twist on classic pancakes combines the convenience of overnight oats with the deliciousness of fluffy, protein-packed pancakes. Whether you’re aiming for a healthy start or want to treat yourself, this recipe hits all the right notes.
Why Use Overnight Oats in Pancakes?
Overnight oats are not only convenient but also a powerhouse of nutrients. Soaking oats overnight makes them easier to digest and enhances their creamy texture. When transformed into pancakes, they add subtle nuttiness and extra fiber, keeping you full for longer. Plus, this recipe is a great way to add a protein boost to your morning without any fuss!
Ingredients:
160g ELEAT overnight oats
340ml milk
60g Greek yoghurt
2 eggs
1-2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
60g flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Toppings of your choice!
Method:
Prep Your Oats: Combine the oats and milk, cover, and leave in the fridge overnight.
Mix It Up: Give the overnight oats a quick stir, then mix in the Greek yoghurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and cinnamon until just combined.
Time to Cook: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the pan, shaping with the back of a spoon if needed.
Flip and Finish: Once bubbles start to form on the surface, flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve It Up: Pile those pancakes high and top with your favourites! Fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yoghurt all work beautifully.
