The Best Protein Pancakes
Description
The Best Protein Pancakes recipe blends rolled oats, ripe banana, whole eggs, liquid egg whites, protein powder, and ground flaxseed meal. Baking powder and a pinch of salt and cinnamon are added for rise and flavor. The batter is created by blending these ingredients until smooth, which yields a thick mixture suitable for cooking on a griddle. Pancakes are cooked over medium-high heat until set on one side and golden brown on the other, producing a slightly fluffy texture.
The inclusion of bananas provides natural sweetness and moisture, while oats contribute heartiness and a firmer crumb. Adding blueberries or chocolate chips before flipping introduces a sweet contrast. These pancakes work well served warm, ideal with syrup or additional toppings to suit individual preferences.
This recipe suits cooks looking for a protein-rich alternative to regular pancakes and is adaptable with different toppings or berries. The use of flaxseed meal adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids without altering the cooking process.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 banana large, ripe
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup egg white, liquid form
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- sea salt pinch
- ground cinnamon pinch
- 1/4 cup protein powder unflavored or vanilla
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
- blueberries for topping, or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the oats, banana, eggs, egg whites, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, protein powder, and flax meal into a blender. Blend on medium-low speed until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or coconut oil.
- Pour the batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. You can add a few blueberries or chocolate chips onto each pancake at this stage.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges appear set and dry. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Serve the protein pancakes hot, with your choice of toppings.
