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.
