Protein pancakes! There’s just something about pancakes on a lazy Sunday morning that’s hard to beat. Whether it’s a little reminder of my childhood growing up, celebrating the start of a new week, or just simply settling my sweet tooth cravings, pancakes just seem to hit the spot.

Makes those pancakes with grass-fed whey protein, no refined grains or refined sugar and we’re in business with protein-loaded, protein pancakes.

I’ve brought together five of my best protein pancake recipes for the next time you’re in the mood for pancakes and want to keep your macros in check.  

Here are five easy-to-make protein pancake recipes that are insanely mouth-watering delicious, packed with protein and your family will enjoy.

PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN PANCAKES

Here is another simple, yet super delicious protein pancake that's quick and easy to make. Combine ½ scoop of Banana Crème Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate & Colostrum protein powder, 3 egg whites, 1-2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter (or nut butter of choice), and ¼ cup of unsweetened almond milk. Combine everything in a blender until a thick batter is formed. Pour it into a pre-greased frying pan, cook, and there you have it! A delicious protein pancake your family will love.

If you want to switch it up or want a bonus, top it off with some low sugar or sugar-free jelly for some peanut butter, and jelly protein pancakes.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 scoop Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate & Colostrum - Banana Crème flavor
• 3 egg whites
• 1-2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
• 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk

NUTRITION FACTS:

(using 2 tablespoons of peanut butter no jelly): 322.5 calories, 33.75 grams of protein, 8.25 grams of carbohydrates, 17 grams of fat.

APPLE PROTEIN PANCAKES

Apples bring a different flavor to your protein pancakes and make a delicious pancake. Combine three egg whites, half a shredded apple (with the skin), and ¼ scoop of Banana Crème Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate & Colostrum protein powder. To save time, you can use ¼ to ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce instead of an apple. Pour the batter into a pan and cook.

These are especially good with some cinnamon sprinkled over the top and a few warmed apple slices.

INGREDIENTS:  

• 3 egg whites
• 1/2 shredded apple with skin (Or 1/4 to 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce)

ALL-IN-ONE PROTEIN PANCAKES

It’s a one-stop-shop protein pancake for this one! Take 1/3 cup of oatmeal (not instant), 1/3 cup of low fat (1%, no salt added) cottage cheese and three egg whites, one teaspoon of vanilla, 1/4 scoop Banana Crème Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate & Colostrum protein powder if you're looking for that extra protein boost.

Mix it all together in a blender to make a “batter.” Pour half of the batter in a preheated, pre-greased pan and cook on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter. These pancakes are pretty sweet on their own, but you can top them with fresh fruit, sugar-free syrup, or any other topping you'd like.

If you are trying to avoid grains, this recipe is perfect for you. In a blender or food processor, combine ¼ cup of coconut flour, one tablespoon of ground flaxseeds, one egg, three egg whites, ¼ cup of unsweetened almond milk, and ½ tsp. baking soda. If you want a bit more protein, also add ¼ scoop of Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate & Colostrum protein powder.

Pour the batter into a preheated, pre-greased pan making sure the entire batter is spread out into a large circle. Cook both sides and then top with your favorite fruit, nut butter spread, or other favorite toppings.

There are still healthy and nutritious ways to enjoy pancakes. Some of these are great as a post-workout snack or as a cheat meal since they’re packed with protein and the best part is that you don’t have to skimp on the fruits or toppings since you really need those carbs after a workout.
