  • 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 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.

Description

These healthy pancakes are so easy and boast 10-13 grams of protein per pancake!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats*
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 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

Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until very smooth.
  2. Heat a pan with about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
  3. 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.
  4. Repeat until all the batter is gone (or cook them all on one large griddle)
  5. Enjoy!

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.

    A favorite even before I was gluten-free, but now a frequent go-to! So yummy. Recently tried it with coconut milk dairy-free yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and the dairy-free stuff worked just as well. Love this recipe!

    Hi! Nice recipe! I’m also a food writer but I’m just currently writing for a New York-based food website. After being inspired by your blog, I’m planning to make my own food website this month. Also, if ever you need some new recipes or food ideas, you can just contact me anytime and I will surely share them to you since I’ve been writing for a food website for more than one year already. Thank you for being an inspiration. God bless you!

    Also, how much fat percentage did the Greek yogurt have?

    I 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).

    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?

    These were light but so filling! I have been looking for a good protein pancake without protein powder and this one was perfect! I like thin pancakes too, so the 1 cup of oats was great for me. Thank you!

    These 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.

      Did 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.

    I’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!
