These are really for breakfast? Indeed, they are! There are fresh blueberries that are blended into the pancake batter and a low sugar blueberry jam that I used as the syrup. Blueberry galore :) They will start your day off right with a whopping 38g protein and only 13g sugar in the entire dish! Compare that to IHOP's strawberry pancakes that has only 18g protein and 27g of sugar - I think we know the winner here. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! So glad to hear! It is always a plus when the kiddos like them :)
DeleteYou definitely have got me craving a stack of pancakes right now. These look pretty awesome & surprisingly healthy too!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They definitely cured my pancake craving~
Deletei read the recipe wrong and added 1/2 cup of protein powder to the pancake mix (lol) but they were still really good!!! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteOh no! haha! You got an extra dose of protein :) Glad you still enjoyed them!
DeleteIs the recipe for one serving?
ReplyDeleteIs the recipe for one serving?
ReplyDeleteYes, for one serving
DeleteVery good!! I doubled the recipe to serve two people
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I doubled it the other day too :) It goes too fast
DeleteCould you make these on a waffle iron?
ReplyDeleteI am not entirely sure - I think it depends on the waffle maker. If you are able to use different mixes in your waffle maker, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
DeleteI made this recipe exactly as written and my pancakes did not turn out as thick as depicted in the picture above. It also only yielded 4 pancakes. Is there something I did wrong?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
When the texture seems a little off from my pictures, I immediately think it is the protein powder. The type of protein powder you use makes a huge different in the texture. If you want them to be a bit thicker, try to add a little more protein powder or oat flour.
DeleteHow much is 1/2 of one scoop of protein powder via TB because I am using a different whey powder and wanted to make sure my measurements were correct...???
ReplyDeleteUsually, 1/2 scoop is about 2 tablespoons.
DeleteThank you! Can't wait to try these! :)
DeleteMade this today after I saw it on Pinterest. I seriously can't believe how good it is! THANKS!
