BEST Protein Pancakes – A Guilt-Free, Protein-Packed Breakfast!
Let’s be honest, traditional pancakes might taste amazing, but they’re loaded with carbs, grains, and sugars that aren’t doing your fitness goals any favors. Enter: Protein Pancakes. These fluffy, high-protein pancakes are the exception to the rule. Packed with cottage cheese, protein powder, and eggs, they’ll fuel your day without the sugar crash. So go ahead—enjoy a stack without the guilt!
Here’s What You’ll Need (Serves 12):
- ½ cup Vanilla Protein Powder
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk (or any milk)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Let’s Make Some Protein Pancakes!
- Get the Griddle Ready: Preheat your pancake griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor, combine all the ingredients. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Let It Rest: If you have the patience, let the batter sit for 10–15 minutes. This helps the pancakes bind together, making them fluffier.
- Cook to Perfection: Lightly grease the preheated griddle or skillet with coconut oil. Lower the heat to medium, and use a ¼ cup measure to pour the batter into rounds. When bubbles form on the surface, it’s time to flip!
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate your pancakes with fresh fruit and a drizzle of pure maple syrup if you’re in the mood for a treat.
