How to make protein pancakes

Have you ever woken up craving a hearty breakfast that satisfies both your taste buds and your fitness goals? Perhaps you’re looking for a delicious way to incorporate more protein into your morning routine or simply want to impress your family with a tasty yet healthy option. Protein pancakes have become a popular choice for those seeking to start their day on a nutritious note, but the recipe may seem daunting or complicated. In this post, we’ll explore how you can whip up a batch of protein pancakes that will leave you feeling energized and satisfied.

To make protein pancakes, combine protein powder, oats, eggs, mashed banana or yogurt, and a pinch of baking powder, and blend until smooth. Cook on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

For a more detailed guide, start by gathering your ingredients: 1 cup of oats, 1 scoop of protein powder (whey or plant-based), 2 large eggs, 1 ripe banana (mashed) or ½ cup of Greek yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. You’ll also want to add milk (dairy or plant-based) to achieve your desired batter consistency.

Begin by blending the oats into a fine flour using a blender or food processor. Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, mashed banana (or yogurt), baking powder, and a splash of milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, adjusting the consistency with more milk if necessary.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or cooking spray. Pour a half-cup of the batter onto the skillet, forming pancakes of your preferred size. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, and serve your protein pancakes warm with toppings like fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy a nutritious start to your day!
