These delicious protein pancakes without protein powder will give you a massive 18 grams of natural protein and keep you full until lunch!
Pancakes are a very popular breakfast item. While they usually get you full quickly, they don’t keep you full for very long. This is because traditionally they are made with unbleached white flour and sugar, and don’t contain much protein or fiber. That’s why I created the one and only protein pancake recipe without protein powder to keep you full for hours.
I recently posted my high-protein fruit and yogurt parfait which I had on repeat every morning for months. I’m ready to change things up now so I have come up with the easiest protein pancakes without protein powder.
These are made with almond flour, coconut flour, and one egg which provides a whopping 18 g of protein. You can definitely top these with maple syrup, but on the days that I’m having a low-sugar breakfast, I top mine with a tablespoon of peanut butter. This adds another 4 g of protein for a total of 22 grams of protein! That’s about the same as a serving of protein powder.
I like to make these blueberry protein pancakes topped with sliced strawberries. Seriously, I can barely finish the one pancake because it fills me up that much. Berries are naturally low in sugar, so they are a great topping idea.
This recipe is also amazing with a mashed banana inside the batter. These pancakes are hearty and amazing and will definitely keep you full for hours.
This recipe makes just one large protein pancake but you could easily double or triple the recipe. These pancakes are perfect for the whole family or if you want to meal prep.
