Protein Pancakes
Description
The recipe uses two eggs and protein powder combined with baking powder and water or almond milk to create a pancake batter. The batter rests briefly before cooking, helping ingredients to combine. The skillet is heated, then greased with butter or coconut oil before pouring the batter. Cooking on medium heat until bubbles appear on the surface signals it’s time to flip the pancakes, ensuring even cooking without burning.
Whey protein powder brands such as Premiere or Quest are recommended, but flavor matters as unwanted taste will carry through. Adjusting the batter’s consistency with more liquid or protein powder can help achieve the desired texture range from fluffier to firmer pancakes.
These pancakes freeze well, making batch cooking practical for busy mornings. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for 2-3 days or frozen up to two months and reheated in the microwave or toaster oven. Serving suggestions include fresh fruit, sugar-free syrup, or butter.
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- 2 coops whey protein powder about 5 - 6 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2-4 tablespoon water or almond milk
- cooking spray to grease pan
- butter
- coconut oil
Instructions
- Heat skillet to medium heat and spray with butter or coconut oil and let melt.
- While the skillet is heating, mix eggs, protein powder, baking powder, and water in a large bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Pour batter onto the skillet using a ¼ measuring cup.
- When you can see bubbles form on the top it’s ready to flip.

Notes
- Use whey protein powder brands you like since flavor affects the pancake taste.
- Adjust batter consistency: add more liquid for drier pancakes or more protein powder/egg for thicker ones.
- These pancakes freeze well; store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freezer up to 2 months.
- Reheat frozen pancakes in the microwave or toaster oven before serving.
