Berry Protein Pancakes Recipe

Proteinpancakes

Protein Pancakes – what a delicious way to start the day!

Skip the flour, sugar and butter and replace it with an extra dose of healthy protein. I use this recipe so many times for weekend brunches and birthday pancake morning surprises. No matter what the occasion these protein pancakes will always make an impression and will let you enjoy a guilt-free breakfast!

Protein Pancakes

What most people don’t know that you can actually use whey protein powder for cooking and baking! I make the most wonderful recipes with it. You leave out the high calorie flour and replace it with protein powder. Perfect for protein pancakes! 

A little pancake making secret

Like most of my recipes it is very easy to make as you are basically just throwing things together in a bowl and blending it until you have a smooth dough. My one and only most important tip for you guys is to make SMALL pancakes! As the dough is simply not as strong and dense as a normal pancake dough you need to be more careful when flipping them. Making big pancakes will not work. The smaller the better 😉 I can also recommend using an empty ketchup bottle. Fill the dough inside the bottle and like this you can make perfectly round pancakes.

Choosing your toppings

Regarding topping you can use everything your hearth desires. I like to mix greek yoghurt with a bit more protein powder and top it with fresh berries. For the berry pancakes in this blogpost I also used sugar free strawberry jam and white almond butter for topping. This obviously adds extra calories, but also makes it extra tasty 😀
