Easy & Simple Protein Pancake Recipe
Breakfast… it didn’t get it’s name for any old reason, it has a deeper meaning behind it. Breakfast means to break the fast since dinner the night before. With that being said, breakfast is the most important meal of the day to not only get your body fueled up for the long day ahead, but to also rev up that metabolism to burn more calories.
With pancakes to waffles and pastries, the ideal American breakfast is far from any great way to fuel up. What we need is some great protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber in the mix to keep that blood sugar stable and your body running at full speed.
Before you start shedding tears while waving good bye to your beloved pancakes, I have a great protein pancake recipe that is sure to get you moving and groven for the rest of the day!
What you will need is some whey protein powder, eggs, and oatmeal. . . 3 simple ingredients for a great breakfast!
Directions
Mix together:
* 1/4 cup uncooked instant oatmeal
* 1 whole egg
* 2 egg whites
* 1 scoop protein powder
Throw on a skillet and treat them no different than your regular pancake. To add some more flavor into the recipe try flavored protein powders like strawberry!

mine is definitely greek yogurt. add some peanut butter and you’ve got lots o protein!
I’m pretty boring when it comes to breakfast and eat pretty much the same thing every day: oatmeal and Greek yogurt.
I’ll have to make your pancakes!
Love it! So simple. I actually have to keep it on the lower protein side for health reasons, but I think my favorite is brown rice cakes with nut butter protein “frosting.”
My latest go-to breakfast is homemade “refried” beans that I make in the crockpot once a week and reheat each morning with some low-fat monterrey jack cheese on top. Protein, fiber, and carbs all in one:)
Lately I have been obsessed with this rice protein powder that I found one day while browsing the aisles at a pharmacy! It’s by Rainbow Light and it’s cinnamon-vanilla flavored, it’s great! Not only is it packed with protein but it also has a little bit of carbs which are mostly from fiber! Plus it has so many vitamins, minerals, etc… and it TASTES GOOD! I mix it with egg whites and then when done I sprinkled it with cinnamon & stevia! Perfect!
This morning I made butternut squash/pumpkin pancakes (just like above but without the rice protein) which was equally as good!
And of course, I cannot go wrong with an over easy egg, some egg whites (with paprika & pepper & cilantro) and a side of roasted butternut squash mixed with pumpkin & cinnamon!
OMG – a pancake recipe with no gluten!?! Amazing! Am going to try it this weekend.
My fave is unsweetened natural yogurt with muesli. I also really like just slightly over-ripe banana mashed up with peanut butter and muesli. Sounds weird. Looks gross. Tastes amazing.
Those look delicious!
I love cracking an egg into my porridge, then topping it with nut butters and fruit. Keeps me full for *hours*.
This looks really good! I love pancakes for breakfast on weekends.
For protein breakfasts I like to eat 2 eggs and a slice of toast. Or, I’ll have a smoothie with whey protein and PB added.
Great recipe! I always like to start the day with an egg breakfast whether they are scrambled, sunny side up, or in omelet form…love em!
Breakfast is my very favorite meal of the day!! Nothing beats a bowl of whole grain cereal in my opinion!
I love me some protein pancakes & love them topped with coconut PB! I won that & love it!
I have a few fav protein breakfasts.. I like them all! Some involve my protein PB.. different from the coconut PB! I usually always have one of my homemade protein bars too!
i LOVE breakfast, although, it ain’t protein packed, i love my cereal. i’m just not the same without it
i do try to eat eggs though every-other-day, but i mix 2 whole eggs with 1 egg white. i know….not as good… but i don’t eat red meat so i figure i’m okay with the cholesterol 
I have been wanting to make protein pancakes!! This looks so simple!! I may try to make “flax eggs” though…but at least I know the measurements now…good stuff!!!
THANK GOD FOR A REPLACEMENT! protein pancakes are the bomb! plus makes u feel better about topping it with candy lol hehe

I LOVE protein pancakes. For protein-packed breakfast, I have some staples….protein pancakes….salad w/chicken/turkey (yes, for breakfast)…protein powder + egg white mix (yes, I’m weird)…
It’s been too long since I’ve made these! I think I need to bring them back into my life!!!
Great pictures too! Hope you are having a great weekend!

My favorite breakfast is a mix of natures path cereals; wheat free millet rice and herritage. For protein I add chopped walnuts and hemp hearts. Then I add some low glycemic fruit such as blueberries and top it all with almond milk…YUM! A perfect balance of protien, carbs, fruit and fiber. I just can’t bring myself to change it up.

I have oatmeal almost everyday. It’s like comfort food for me, and so filling. I like to add different things to it: apples, blueberries, pumpkin, raisins, various spices, and VANILLA! No nuts in my house, unfortunately, as my niece has a severe allergy.
