Easy protein pancakes
High-protein pancakes made with eggs, oats, milk, and protein powder, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. Ideal for post-workout muscle boost and a great breakfast choice for protein enthusiasts, especially when paired with nut butter or fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 75 g oats
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk or greek yogurt, dairy, soya, oat and nut milks all work
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- pinch of cinnamon or Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp protein powder whey, pea or whatever your preference
- coconut oil or a flavourless oil, for frying
- sweetener: stevia, granulated or powdered sweetener, maple syrup
- berries or sliced banana to serve
Instructions
- Blend the banana, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and protein powder in a blender for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Check if the oats have turned into smaller pieces. If not, blend for one more minute.
- Heat a little oil in a pan. Pour or spoon 2-3 portions of batter, leaving some space for it to spread.
- Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form on the top and the bottom is golden. Then, turn it over and cook for another minute until it’s fully cooked.
- Transfer the waffles to a warmed oven and make more with the rest of the batter. Serve them stacked with nut butter, maple syrup, and fruit.
Notes
If you want to serve them all at once, heat the oven to its lowest setting and put a couple of baking trays in there to keep the pancakes warm as you make the rest.
People Also Ask
Can I use protein powder instead of flour for pancakes?
The answer is yes! You can use protein powder instead of flour when baking. Whether you have dietary restrictions or just want to try something new, using protein powder in place of regular flour is worth a try!
Are protein pancakes healthy?
Yes they are heatlhy because these pancakes usually have healthier ingredients like protein powder, oats, and egg whites. On the other hand, regular pancakes are often made with refined flour, sugar, and butter.
Why do my protein pancakes fall apart?
A common mistake when making this type of pancakes is using too much protein. If over half of your batter is protein powder, the pancakes can end up dry, rubbery, and fall apart. To avoid this, reduce the protein powder and add more flour to the batter.

They certainly do, since are quite similar to regular pancakes, but with added protein powder to increase the protein content. You can also add a touch of vanilla, or choose to mix in your favorite protein powder flavor.

My Experience
Hello friends! I have started strength training in the gym and this inspired me to make this recipe. Also, because these pancakes are easy and delicious!
When I was at the store, I bought PF 100% Whey Protein. I didn’t really like the taste of protein powder, so I usually used egg whites for extra protein in pancakes. But don’t worry, I like to make these easy pancakes for a quick protein-packed meal in the morning. And you can also use them to make protein powder waffles!
Pancakes for Children

This recipe took a few tries to get right, but now we make it all the time because the pancakes are so good!
Ingredients
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these protein pancakes. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need:
- Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes, this one included.
- Vanilla extract: I use a full tablespoon – this is not a typo. Since I use plain, unflavored protein powder, it gives the pancakes much-needed flavor.
- Sweetener: This is optional, especially if you plan to top the pancakes with sweet toppings. I add stevia to the batter, which is especially important when using unsweetened powder. You can replace the stevia with a granulated or powdered sweetener.
- Plain Greek yogurt: Adds much-needed moisture to the pancakes. I use plain, whole-milk Greek yogurt. Nonfat Greek yogurt works, too.
- Protein powder: I use BioTech USA Iso Whey Zero – Natural Flavor. I like that it doesn’t have any sweeteners.
- Baking powder: Make sure it’s not expired. It helps the pancakes rise, although these are not tall pancakes.

Whether you’re into fitness or just want a healthy start to your day, these pancakes are sure to become a breakfast favorite. Let’s get cooking! This recipe is inspired by Cassie Best.
