Instructions
Pancakes
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. In a smaller bowl whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, egg white, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk together until smooth. Gently fold the blueberries into the pancake batter with a rubber spatula.
- Using a 3 tablespoon ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measurer, add the batter to a hot prepared non-stick griddle or skillet.
- Cook the pancakes on the first side until small bubbles form on top, then flip over and cook on the other side for a another couple minutes.
Blueberry Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat add the blueberries and maple syrup. Cook the blueberries until they start to pop and release their juices, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch/water mixture to the blueberries and stir together until incorporated. Continue to cook the blueberry sauce for 2-3 more minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Once the sauce has thickened remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Top the pancakes with the warm blueberry sauce.
