These pancakes stand out due to their health-conscious ingredients, as they are free of dairy and gluten. Packed with protein, they are not only satisfying but also incredibly simple to make. As someone who enjoys these pancakes several times a week, I can assure you that you are going to love them!

The Ingredients You’ll Need

To make these pancakes, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup of King Arthur's DF GF Protein Pancake Batter https://amzn.to/3ZqgrdN

  • 1 scoop of Equip Prime Protein Grass-Fed Vanilla Collagen Protein (feel free to use any vanilla-flavored collagen or plant protein, I just love this one because it dissolves perfectly and tastes so good. Equip Vanilla: https://amzn.to/3CNtQny

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup of egg whites

  • A splash of nut milk (as needed)

These ingredients not only contribute to the overwhelming goodness of the pancakes but also ensure they are packed with the protein necessary to fuel your day. This recipe is for one. Feel free to make larger batches and have them through the week. The pancakes stay great for about 3 days in the fridge.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Protein Pancakes

Now, let's get to the fun part—preparing the pancakes! Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

  1. Begin by mixing the egg and egg whites together in a bowl. I recommend using an inexpensive immersion blender (this one made by Amazon Basics is inexpensive and reliable, https://amzn.to/3Zauz9P )for a smooth consistency. Add half of a banana.

  2. Add the King Arthur's pancake batter and the collagen protein to the mixture. Blend them thoroughly until well combined.

  3. Once the batter is ready, spray your pan with avocado spray to prevent sticking. Heat the pan over medium heat.

  4. Pour a ladle of batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and finish cooking until golden brown.

And just like that, you have a stack of delicious, protein-packed pancakes that are both nourishing and incredibly easy to whip up!

Enjoying Your Protein Pancakes

These protein pancakes can be enjoyed in a myriad of ways. Top them with fresh fruit, a dollop of nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor. The versatility of the recipe means you can customize it to your preference while keeping it healthy. Whether you are a busy professional seeking a quick breakfast or simply want a delightful treat any time of the day, these pancakes fit the bill perfectly.

In conclusion, making these dairy-free, gluten-free, no-added-sugar protein pancakes is straightforward and offers tremendous taste and health benefits. I hope you enjoy making and eating these pancakes as much as I do. They may just become a regular feature in your meal planning!
