These pancakes replace refined flour with oat flour and protein powder, and use instant coffee to add flavor depth. They are a practical post-workout or high-protein breakfast option that still tastes like actual food rather than a supplement delivery vehicle.


### Coffee Protein Pancake Recipe: High-Protein Morning Breakfast

難易度: beginner / 時間: 3分 / 分量: 1 serving

**材料**

- コーヒー:50ml
- 薄力粉:200g
- 砂糖:100g
- 卵:2個

**手順**

1. Mix dry ingredients
2. Mix wet ingredients
3. Combine
4. Cook
5. Top and serve


## Ingredients (makes ~4 pancakes)


> ℹ️ **INFO**
>
> **Ingredients**
> 
> - 80g (3/4 cup) oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
> - 30g (~1 scoop) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
> - 2 tsp instant coffee
> - 1/2 tsp baking powder
> - Pinch of salt
> - 1 egg
> - 120–150ml (1/2 cup) milk or plant-based milk
> - 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
> - 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
> - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract


## Equipment

- Mixing bowls
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Rubber spatula or ladle

## Instructions

### Step 1: Mix dry ingredients

Combine oat flour, protein powder, instant coffee, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk briefly to distribute evenly.


> 💡 **TIP**
>
> **Protein powder selection**: Vanilla protein powder works with the coffee flavor without clashing. Chocolate creates a mocha effect. Whey protein (WPC or WPI) produces slightly lighter pancakes than most plant-based proteins. Either works.


### Step 2: Mix wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, mashed banana, honey, and vanilla extract.

### Step 3: Combine

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until **just combined** — a few streaks or lumps remaining is fine. Protein powder pancake batter develops a gummy, dense texture if overmixed. If the batter seems too thick to pour, add a tablespoon of milk at a time.

### Step 4: Cook

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 of the batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear across the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.


> ⚠️ **注意**
>
> **Use lower heat than standard pancakes**: Protein powder scorches more easily than flour. Medium-low rather than medium heat prevents burning the outside before the center cooks through.


### Step 5: Top and serve

Serve with your choice of toppings immediately.

## Topping Ideas

- Greek yogurt + dark chocolate-covered espresso beans
- Sliced banana + peanut butter + honey drizzle
- Mixed berries + light whipped cream
- Cacao nibs + maple syrup

*Varies by protein powder brand and milk type used.*

## Summary

- Oat flour + protein powder + instant coffee is the complete base — no other unusual ingredients needed
- Slightly undermix the batter for lighter texture; overmixing is the main failure mode
- Medium-low heat prevents scorching that higher heat causes with protein powder
- Ripe banana handles most sweetness requirements without added sugar
