Make incredibly fluffy pancakes with a warm, comforting cinnamon roll flavor. This recipe gives you that decadent taste in a healthy, high-protein breakfast format.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the swirl: 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
  4. For the cinnamon swirl, mix the melted coconut oil, brown sugar substitute, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a tiny bowl.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  7. Immediately drizzle a small amount of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top of the wet batter.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  9. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Chef Tariq recommends using a high-quality vanilla protein powder for the best flavor base.
  • If you prefer a thinner batter, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Amara suggests topping these with a simple Greek yogurt glaze for extra creaminess.
  • Leo likes to add a tiny pinch of nutmeg to the main batter for extra depth.
