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 what makes this a healthy pancake recipe? Let’s check out the stats (lovin’ the lists today):
- 10-13 grams of protein per pancake (see recipe notes)
- made with 100% whole grains
- made with no refined flours
- made with no refined sugars
A healthy pancake recipe doesn’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.

Notes
*After receiving feedback that the pancakes were too thin for some people, I tested the amount of oats. If you like thicker pancakes, use 2 cups of oats, for thinner pancakes 1 cup of oats is perfect. Nutritional information listed is for 1 cups of oats. If you use 2 cups of oats, 1 pancake (out of 5) is 223 calories and 13 grams of protein.

August 2, 2019 at 3:52 amI just made these, they were delicious abd easy!!! However I have a few questions:
How did they get your brownish color? Maybe you cooked them on high heat? Mine were super light.
What greek yogurt did you use and how much protein they had? I used some greek flavored yogurt with only 7 grams per cup (it’s the only Greek yogurt they had unfortunately).

May 4, 2019 at 2:22 ambatter looked a bit thin, so I added more oats, still thin, but they cooked up alright. They were not as fluffy as the ones pictured. However, they were delicious. Do you think the thinness was due to extra large eggs. Maybe 2 of those instead of the three. What do you think?

February 8, 2019 at 11:04 amThese are very good. I used almond milk yogurt and added sliced bananas and walnuts when cooking. Loved them! I used about 1.25 cup oats.

August 4, 2018 at 2:29 pmHi. Made these today. The batter looked a bit thin, so I added more oats, still thin, but they cooked up alright. They were not as fluffy as the ones pictured. However, they were delicious. Do you think the thinness was due to extra large eggs. Maybe 2 of those instead of the three. What do you think?
Maryea says
August 8, 2018 at 6:55 amDid you use Greek yogurt? I’ve made these with regular yogurt and they were thin. The eggs could have caused it, also, but I’m not sure. If you used Greek yogurt, definitely try them with 2 extra large eggs.

June 25, 2018 at 1:22 amI’ve tried so many different healthy pancake recipes that have failed. I am so happy I decided to give it one more shot with this one. No more scrambled pancake. I love it!
