Protein Pancakes with Oats Recipe

Most people think of pancakes as an unhealthy breakfast option. But what if I told you that there was a way to make pancakes that were not only healthy, but also high in protein? These four ingredient protein pancakes are simple to make and only take a few minutes to cook. They are perfect for busy mornings or as a post-workout snack.

How do you put oats in protein pancakes?

The oats in this protein pancakes recipe are ground up to a powder with a powerful blender. The oat flour is the base of this pancake recipe. I use a Vitamix blender to make sure the oats are completely ground into a fine powder so the recipe will not be grainy.

Protein Pancakes Ingredients

These delicious, healthy protein pancakes are also super simple to make with only four basic ingredients:

• 1 Cup Rolled Oats (ground fine)
• 1 Cup cottage cheese (1% or fat free)
• 1 Cup egg whites
• 2 tsps baking powder

What kind of oats do I use for protein pancakes?

To make these four ingredient protein pancakes, you will want to use whole, old fashioned rolled oats. Quick oats will not work as they will not make the proper amount of powder for the recipe.

Can you make the whole recipe in your blender?

The entire recipe can be made in the blender and on a stovetop griddle so, clean up will be minimal. First add your whole oats to your blender and grind to fin powder, then add the baking powder and pulse a couple of times to mix well. Next add your wet ingredients (egg whites and cottage cheese) and blend well. Finally, you can pour your pancake mixture straight from the blender pitcher onto the warm griddle.

Can protein pancakes be frozen.

Protein pancakes are the perfect breakfast for kids on busy mornings. I make them in bulk on the weekends and freeze them for easy week day breakfasts and after workout snacks. When freezing the pancakes, be sure to put a piece of wax paper between the pancakes so they do not stick together.
