IHOP Protein Pancakes Recipe

Protein pancakes don’t have to taste like cardboard, and this IHOP-inspired version proves it.
Using a mix of oat flour and whey protein keeps them from turning dense while still packing in plenty of protein.
I always separate the eggs and whip the whites before folding them into the batter. 
A little mashed banana or Greek yogurt helps keep them moist without making them too heavy.
Cooking them in a lightly oiled pan instead of butter keeps the edges from getting greasy while still allowing a golden-brown crust.
