Directions
 

  1. In a bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients and mix them together.
  2. In another bowl, combine all of your wet ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients together.
  3. Slowly add your wet mixture into the dry mixture while stirring gently. Do not overmix, stir until everything is mixed in.
  4. Set aside and let the mixture rest for 30 minutes at room temperature, or wrap it in plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Add about 1/4 cup to ⅜ cup (4 to 6 tablespoons) of batter onto your skillet and cover with a lid.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake which should take about 4-5 minutes on medium low heat.
  8. Flip and cook for an additional minute or two until golden brown.
  9. Repeat the process until you are out of batter.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Cook on medium-low heat since protein pancakes brown faster than regular ones.
