How to Make Healthy Whole Wheat Bran Flax Whey Pancakes With Yogurt Cheese

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-bran cereal with 1/2 cup whey protein. Let soak for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup flaxseed meal, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  3. Add 1 1/4 cups whey protein, 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the soaked all-bran mixture.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with a generous dollop of plain Greek yogurt (for a tangy cream cheese-like texture), fresh berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
  8. Enjoy! Leftovers freeze beautifully; reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
