These healthy pancakes are the easiest pancake recipe in the world and have 10 grams of protein (without protein powder)! 
Alternate recipe names for this pancake recipe:
- Easy Blender Pancakes
- High Protein Blender Pancakes
- Oatmeal Blender Pancakes
- High Protein Oatmeal Pancakes
- Green Yogurt Pancakes
- Greek Yogurt Oatmeal Pancakes
- High Protein Pancakes without Protein Powder
Naming recipes can be such a process. I finally just settled on “Healthy Pancakes.” Yes, it’s nondescript, but let’s be honest. That’s all you need to know.
So why are these healthy pancakes? Let’s check out the stats (lovin’ the lists today):
- 10 grams of protein per pancake
- made with 100% whole grains
- made with no refined flours
- made with no refined sugars
Healthy pancakes don’t always equal delicious pancakes, but these are healthy and delicious. Oh, and did I mention easy? If you think homemade pancakes are a drag, think again. These are made with just a few ingredients and you can make the batter in your blender!
These are some of the most hearty and filling pancakes ever. Must be the protein. These will definitely fill you up and keep you full all morning long.
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar (can sub honey, maple syrup, sucunat, or coconut sugar)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- coconut oil, butter,or oil of choice
- Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until very smooth.
- Heat a pan with about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Pour a small amount of batter into the pan. Cook about 4-5 minutes on the first side and 2-3 minutes on the second side.
- Repeat until all the batter is gone (or cook them all on one large griddle)
- Enjoy!
I haven’t had pancakes in…forever. They never keep me full, so I go for more protein-packed breakfast such as eggs. But your recipe is tempting me to give pancakes another chance… I’ll experiment to make them dairy-free though. 🙂
I’m the same way, Kate! I usually think of pancakes as a special treat breakfast rather than an everyday breakfast, but these are really a game changer!
I realized the protein content would be less but anyone made these with an egg replacement?
Gorgeous! It looks so tasty. I will try it at home with my daughter this weekend. This might be the great time for me. Thanks.
You’re welcome! I hope you love these. 🙂
I have made these several times lately! They are so easy, and I can feel good about serving them to my 4-year-old. We don’t even add any sweetener and he loves them, usually topped with peanut butter.
So glad to hear that, Ashley! 🙂
Great .. Thanks for sharing great article
Thanks for sharing delicious and healthy recipes.. I have read many healthy protein pancake reviews, but this one looks yummy!! I am very eager to try these delicious pancakes.
Do you know approximately how much batter you use per pancake and how many pancakes you get total? It says serves 5, but I am wondering how many pancakes each person gets.
It makes 5 large pancakes. Serving size depends on appetite. My husband can eat 2 or even 3, but one, with toppings, is plenty for me. 🙂
Looks so good and I have all the ingredients in my pantry. I’m trying these tomorrow. Thanks.
You’re welcome! Enjoy! 🙂

I just made these for myself and my three teenage daughters, and we loved them. I doubled the recipe for the four of us and used whole milk Greed yogurt (because that is all I had). I served them with (yes more) Greek yogurt, fresh berries and maple syrup on the side. I cooked them on low medium heat with the lid on, and they came out fluffy. I appreciate that they are so nutritious, took very little time, and of course delicious. I will definitely make these again.
Glad to hear it Gina! Thanks for the feedback. 🙂
What is rolled oats???!!
Rolled oats are oats that have been rolled. 🙂 Rolled oats are sold as either old-fashioned rolled oats or quick-cooking rolled oats. I use old-fashioned. I hope that helps!
In Canada they are called “large flake oats.” In the US they are called “old fashioned oats.” Same thing. Not sure where you live.
Delicious recipe! I made it yesterday. Its taste was delicious.
Thanks for letting me know!
These are the best pancakes I’ve made probably ever. Usually “healthy” recipes eliminate any sort of flour and end up rubbery and paper thin or call for almond meal which makes them dense and gritty. These were fluffy and filling but didn’t weigh me down like pancakes often do. I had to work with whole wheat flour and plain yogurt because that’s what I had on hand, but they were soooooo gooooood!
I’m so glad to hear that, Alison! Thanks for taking the time to let me know–I really appreciate feedback! 🙂
