High Protein Pancakes


Looking to power up your morning with something delicious and nutritious? Try these high-protein pancakes! Not only are they fluffy and satisfying, but they’re packed with protein to keep you full and energized throughout the day. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a post-workout treat!


Why High-Protein Pancakes?

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but getting a good balance of protein and carbs can sometimes be a challenge. These pancakes are a great solution, offering a healthy dose of protein to support muscle recovery, stabilize blood sugar, and keep those hunger pangs at bay. They require no protein powder. Plus, they taste amazing!



Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour/plain flour 

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese

  • 2 eggs

  • 1.5 tsp baking powder

  • 1/3 cup milk 

  • 1 tbsp melted butter

  • 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, stevia)

Optional ingredients: 

  • cinnamon 

  • chocolate chips 

  • blueberries 


Instructions:

  1. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, milk, melted butter, and sweetener of choice. Blend until smooth and add to a bowl. 

  2. In the bowl, add in your flour and baking powder. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk until you get the perfect pancake batter consistency.

  3. Now is the time for you to get creative with your pancakes. I like to add cinnamon, but here you have the option of adding anything you like to your pancakes, like chocolate chips or blueberries. 

  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or cooking spray. Pour small circles of batter onto the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Stack them up and top with your favourite toppings like fresh cream, berries, nut butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost.


Pancake Tips:

  • Customizable: You can switch it up with add-ins like cinnamon, chocolate chips, or even a scoop of peanut butter for a flavour twist. 

  • Increase Protein: Switch the all-purpose flour/plain flour for oat flour or whole wheat flour for even more protein in these pancakes. Or use some protein powder in the mix.

  • Great for Meal Prep: Make a batch in advance and store them in the fridge for quick breakfasts or snacks throughout the week. 

  • Top our pancakes with some chia seeds or hemp hearts for an extra boost of omega-3s and fibre!
