Blueberry Protein Pancakes
Blueberry Protein Pancakes blend egg whites, vanilla protein powder, mashed banana, and fresh or frozen blueberries to create a light and tender pancake with gentle sweetness and a burst of berry flavor. The batter is cooked on low-medium heat to ensure even cooking and avoid burning. These pancakes offer a nutrient-rich breakfast option with soft texture and fruity highlights.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup egg white, liquid form
- 1 vanilla protein powder scoop
- 1/2 banana mashed
- almond milk if needed
- 1/4 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- cooking spray I like using coconut or avocado oil spray
- Non-stick pan
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg whites and protein powder with a fork or whisk until all the protein powder is dissolved. I find that a whisk does a great job for mixing in the protein powder.
- Stir in the mashed banana and add the blueberries. If the pancake mixture seems too thick you can add a splash of almond milk to thin it out a bit.
- Spray a medium sized non-stick pan with cooking spray and set heat to low-medium (I use the number 3 on my stove). The lower heat is the key to making sure the pancake doesn’t burn. Pour in pancake batter and cook until little bubbles form (about 5 minutes).
- Make sure the pancake has set enough before you try flipping it, or else you’ll end up with a scramble. Carefully flip the pancake over to the other side. Cook until pancake is done in the middle (typically takes another 2-3 minutes). Place pancake on a plate, top with your favorite pancake toppings. I like these with a drizzle of peanut butter and extra blueberries.
