- What's up guys, I'm Johnny Orlando.
And today I'm going to show you how to make
protein pancakes,
but I'm not very good at cooking.
So we'll see how this goes.
All right guys, it's flipping time, let's go.
We're going to have a mix of little and big ones.
This is a trick for how to crack an egg
and never get a shell in.
We're making protein pancakes with our,
our plant-based protein powder because
it's really easy to make, so I've heard.
I've never done it before.
And, high in protein,
pretty high in calories, which is good,
'cause I'm trying to be buff.
I'm in a lean, bulking stage,
so this is perfect for me.
Of course you can, like, substitute things out.
We're using
dairy yogurt and, like, normal milk and stuff.
So you can all swap those out.
Should be good. Let's get into it.
My sister taught me this recipe.
So these are the ingredients that we're using today.
First, we have plant based protein powder,
French vanilla flavor. My favorite.
We have
oats,
of course.
2% milk,
cinnamon,
low-fat yogurt,
and eggs.
Let's get right into it.
All right, first up,
we want to do all of our dry stuff together.
So we're going to go with a cup of oats.
Next up,
we want a scoop of our protein powder.
One scoop has 24 grams of protein.
Oh, nevermind. 15 grams of protein. I can't read.
So, pretty high in protein,
and we're putting in yogurt and milk
and eggs and stuff. So, the extra protein.
Not bad for some pancakes.
And they're pretty tasty, too.
Our first question here is,
what is the most fun I've had in lockdown?
What was the most fun thing I've done in lockdown?
It would probably have to be
being able to do sessions, even if they were on Zoom.
That was really fun.
I also did a drive-in concert in, uh,
Fall of last year.
That was really fun.
It was really nice to be able to do a show and
not have to worry about anything.
'Cause we were, we were pretty far away from people.
I'm kind of just going to eyeball this.
This should be good.
My dream musical collab...
I'm sorry, there's protein powder in the air around me.
I really want to do a flip of Thank You by Dido.
I guess that would be kind of a collab.
I just more kind of want to repurpose old songs
and, like, add verses and my own take on them.
Probably Billie Eilish though.
If anybody, like, dream musical collabs,
Billie or Bieber, I feel like it'd be pretty sick.
A song that always cheers me up is, uh,
it's an EDM song. It's called Oblivion.
Banging song.
It goes like:
♪ What you want girl ♪
♪ What you wanna see ♪
♪ Who you gonna hold when you wake up ♪
♪ What's it gonna take ♪
♪ Tell me what you need ♪
♪ Will you be afraid when you wake up ♪
♪ Make a million ♪
♪ Take you to oblivion ♪
I think this is done, so,
let's move on to the wet ingredients.
Drip.
Now onto the wet phase.
I'm going to do two eggs.
I was recommended to do like one, maybe two,
but I'm going to do two.
It's protein.
Um...
The garbage smells like garbage.
This is a trick for how to crack an egg
and never get a shell in.
You want to do it on the counter,
like on, on a hard surface.
Oh no.
You want to do it on a hard surface,
but, um,
you don't really want to clean up off your counter,
so I usually crack it in the,
this part where it flips open.
So you just go...
(egg cracks)
And bippity boppity freakin' boom.
And there's no shells in there whatsoever.
Pretty handy.
My favorite song of my own.
I really like Everybody Wants You.
Honestly, I like that song, the more that I hear it.
I liked it, but I didn't love it
when it, like, first came out and we were
doing the mix and stuff.
But I like, I love it now. It's a good song.
Just kind of like pop banger. Goes, um...
♪ Everybody wants you, na na na ♪
That's how it goes.
I'm kidding. It goes...
♪ You and I both know ♪
♪ They wanna take you on ♪
♪ Don't know what I'm gonna do ♪
I'm looking for paper towel. Over here.
So, we still have our two eggs in here.
Have not mixed them up yet.
Before you do that, you're going to want to add
just a dash
of milk.
A bit, bit more of a dash.
Perfect.
It's better to underdo it than overdo it
because you can't
undo an overdue,
but you can
remedy an underdo.
We're going to sideline our milk for now
and our eggs.
Supreme egg tip:
Tip forward,
and, as if you're going to eat it,
like that,
and you want to crush up the yolks first,
get it started,
get some movement,
and then boom.
You really want to get air into the mixture.
So you go up like this.
It's like an elliptical orbit.
It's like the moon.
And after that you have a bunch of air bubbles
and it tastes better. Fluffier.
I think the best part of shooting that I Don't video was
the cars.
That was, that was a selling point for me.
I love driving.
I really liked the concept of the video and being there,
being able to do it with another artist
was really cool as well.
Dubs was in there
and of course Ellie was there as well.
And it was just a fun day overall.
And I hadn't been having too many of those in music.
It's a lot of just, like, sessions, meetings.
But we got to, got to do a music video,
play around a bit.
It was lots of fun.
I'm a really good driver, actually.
Um.
I am.
I promise.
I am. I'm a really good driver.
Ask my friends.
When I want to be, I'm very docile
and I'm very good.
But I can also be a demon when I want,
which is the, that's how you know you're a good driver.
When you can do both.
This doesn't look nice.
A substitute for yogurt in your very own
protein pancakes could be mashed bananas,
but I decided to go with yogurt today.
We're going to use about one tablespoon, like this.
(spoon clanging)
Just scoop this out
'cause we're not going in for another one.
My go-to convenience store snack,
probably Doritos, M&M's, big one.
Or, like, beef jerky.
Smells terrible, but it tastes heavenly.
Ew.
Ew, dude.
Look at that. Ew.
I just put the
frying pan on the stove so it can heat up
while we're finishing up these last couple of steps.
You want to put it on medium heat
and you want a fat pan.
And then we're going to, we're going to deal with this.
I don't know what we're going to do yet.
Now we're going to combine these two products
and we are going to mix the dry with the wet.
So let's go on and pour that in here,
and while we're doing this,
am I more of a day or a night person?
I would just say a night person.
Um, most definitely not a morning person.
Oh, I'm supposed to be mixing.
'Cause nothing good happens before noon.
So, why would I be awake for that? No.
But I do wake up at seven for school.
So at this point we can kind of see what we need.
I'm going to add a bit more moisture into our mix.
Um.
Because it's a bit dry in here.
A bit, bit dry.
Something I'll never regret is, um,
being, like, snappy sometimes.
Because I have learned
to get what you want, you have to be vocal about it,
which I don't like doing,
because I don't love confrontation.
I was at a session earlier today
and I was like, like,
I just hate those ad-libs, like,
we got to take them out.
And I felt kind of bad,
'cause it was the guy's idea that I said that to.
I was like, I'm sorry, man.
It's just not me.
And he was like, "All right, like, I understand."
If you have a good reason,
don't be afraid to, to be snappy once in a while.
All right guys,
so this is the texture that you want.
Much more
watery.
Not watery, but, just, it moves.
It definitely moves.
We were lazy and didn't blend our oats.
But if you want, just toss your oats in the blender
(imitates blender noise)
and then this becomes a lot easier to be quite honest.
Also, had an idea.
I'm gonna add cho - (stammers)
chocolate chips.
Don't be afraid to be generous with your chocolate chips.
We're gonna be very generous.
And then repeat the last step.
Just mix a bit, get them in there.
So, I added a bit of oil as a base layer.
We're going to add a bit more.
Mother.
Now we're going to make a couple of different circles.
Now what you're going to do, get, grab your spoon.
And you're going to make a couple of different
little circular pancake shapes.
Make sure you do it slowly though,
'cause they expand like no other.
(sizzling)
We're going to have a mix of little and big ones.
So this is a big one. I'm going to shape it.
It's as -
Ow!
That hurt.
You may have to do the overhand crane technique
to avoid getting splashed by hot oil.
A trick to make your pancakes a bit fluffier...
(sneezing)
A trick to make your pancakes fluffier
is to cover them.
So you go like that on medium to low heat
so they don't burn,
and they'll fluff right up.
Just you watch.
What do I look for in a girlfriend?
And to be honest, I have no idea,
cause I haven't had a girlfriend since I was 12.
I'm really not looking for one,
but, um, I don't know.
I guess somebody that I just get along with,
don't have to, like, force conversation, things like that.
Like, I hate having to, like, nails on a chalk,
or to, like, have a good time.
So, just somebody that's easy to get along with
that I vibe with. And that's nice.
The next question is, have I ever told somebody
I love them.
Definitely, for sure.
In my,
in my younger years, for sure.
I was very dramatic.
All right guys, it's flipping time,
and time for more questions. Let's go.
How do I handle heartbreak?
I have not had my heart broken.
Ahhh!
In a while.
Um, honestly,
Just don't be weird about it and, like, stalk the person.
Just, kind of just deal with it.
If it isn't meant to be, it's not meant to be.
Just let it be how it be.
My dogs are over there, they're making a lot of noise.
Boom.
Expert flip.
These are gonna be so burnt, man.
Do you have any secret talents?
I'm trying to learn how to flip my ring between my fingers.
So come back in a year and 17,
you guys will get the exclusive.
I can, like, figure things out pretty well.
I'm about to go put together a power washer.
That's about it.
There's really not much else about me.
I kind of spend all my time doing school and music.
I can lick my elbow,
but I'm not going to show you.
I can rhyme with the orange perfectly,
but I'll never tell you what the word is.
It is done.
Make sure you check out
I Don't and the I Don't video.
Bye guys.
