Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 — Make the Pancake Batter
In a mixing bowl, add:
Oat flour or pancake mix
Protein powder
Egg
Milk
Baking powder
Vanilla extract
Salt
Whisk until smooth.
The batter should be thick but pourable.
If it feels too thick, add a splash of milk.
Step 2 — Cook the Pancakes
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
Pour the batter into 2 small pancake circles.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on top.
Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Set aside.
Step 3 — Cook the Egg
In the same skillet, scramble or fry the egg.
Season with black pepper.
Cook until set.
If using cheese, place it on the warm egg so it melts slightly.
Step 4 — Add the Protein Filling
Cook turkey bacon, chicken sausage, or lean breakfast meat if using.
Keep it warm.
You can also skip the meat and keep it vegetarian with egg and cottage cheese.
Step 5 — Build the Breakfast Stack
Place one pancake on a plate.
Spread with:
Greek yogurt
Cottage cheese
Light cream cheese
Add:
Egg
Cheese
Turkey bacon or chicken sausage
Drizzle with a little maple syrup or sugar-free syrup if desired.
Step 6 — Add the Top Pancake
Place the second pancake on top.
Press gently to hold the sandwich together.
Slice in half or serve as a full breakfast stack.
Step 7 — Serve
Serve warm.
Enjoy with fresh berries, avocado, hot sauce, or extra syrup.

Cook pancakes on medium-low heat to avoid burning the protein powder.
Use Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a creamy high-protein spread.

Use egg whites for a lighter version.
