3 Ingredient Protein Pancakes Recipe

that you’ll want to eat every day

This is a guest post by travel blogger, Jenifer Byington from The Evolista. Jenifer is sharing her favourite healthy brekkie recipe – 3 ingredient protein pancakes.

She and her husband are on the road quite a bit, eating food they wouldn’t normally eat at home.

While it’s fun to indulge in cuisines from around the world, they start craving healthy food and make these protein pancakes when they’re getting back on track with their normal healthy eating.

Jenifer says: “I love easy, healthy recipes, especially for breakfast. A friend of mine showed me how to make these 3 ingredient protein pancakes 10 years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since.

“I was spending the night at her house and she was making these pancakes for her kids. They loved them and I was blown away that she was getting them to eat something so healthy disguised as a kid’s favorite breakfast item. Every person I’ve shared the recipe with has become a super fan!”

3 Ingredient Protein Pancakes Kid Will Love

Regular pancakes are an easy thing to make because you typically have pancake mix and add water. But, they have no nutritional value. You might as well feed your kids white bread for breakfast. It would be easier. These 3 ingredient pancakes have as much protein as feeding your kids eggs.

Jenifer continues: “When I first made this protein pancake recipe for my family, it was a hit. I didn’t let them see the 3 ingredients in case it would sway their decision to eat pancakes packed with protein. You throw everything in the blender, so it was easy to make it look like regular pancake batter before they got into the kitchen. Does anyone else have kids that are suspicious of healthy food?”

Protein Pancakes Without Protein Powder

The only adults I know that are regular pancake eaters are people that are serious about working out.

They typically make pancakes with chocolate protein powder, vanilla protein powder or whey protein powder in the mix and the pancakes don’t taste that great.

I love that these pancakes are packed with protein, without using protein powder.

Gluten-Free Protein Pancakes (well, in the US, at least!)

While Jenifer calls this pancake recipe gluten-free, I have to clarify that in Australia, oats generally are not allowed to be labelled gluten-free.

It’s not as complicated as it sounds though. From my understanding, it’s simply that Australian laws are a bit stricter about gluten-free labelling.

Oats are naturally gluten-free, but because there is the possibility of cross-contamination from wheat, rye or barley during the growing or processing, they aren’t allowed to have a gluten-free label in Australia.

So, if you have celiac disease, allergies, or gluten sensitivity, you need to use a brand of oats that you know is gluten-free.
