Protein Pancake Recipe Overview

This high protein pancake recipe yields 5-6 tender, delectable pancakes with a fluffy texture. I used whey protein powder but you can use casein protein, vanilla flavored protein, chocolate flavored protein powder or even weight gainer to make this recipe. Also, to keep my protein pancakes low in saturated fats I oped to use avocado oil for my test plate here and got to say, these will probably be my go-to home recipe whenever making high protein pancakes – which are a close second to my favorite bodybuilding omelette recipe.

You can also use the same batter to make some crepes since the batter is interchangeable.

Common Questions About How to Make Protein Pancakes

What flour do I use? All purpose flour is best. However if you would like to make a gluten free pancake you can use rice flour, or almond flour for preparing a keto pancake recipe.

How do I store my Protein pancakes? Store your pancakes in a refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to a few days or cover with plastic wrap, layer with parchment paper – and freeze.
