Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter.
- To form the heart shape, pour a small circle of batter onto the skillet. Immediately pour a second, smaller circle touching the top edge of the first circle, creating a point at the top.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
