Are you a lover of pancakes like I am, but want to keep it healthy and avoid the standard Hungry Jack box recipe? Or maybe you are gluten or dairy free?! Well, you are in luck! A certain someone found this gluten-free protein pancake recipe here and decided to cook them up for me – thanks Josh! They were delicious, packed with protein, nutrients, and gave me the energy I needed to finish a grueling workout. We tweaked the recipe a little and it looked like this:
Gluten-Free Protein Pancake Recipe
Ingredients: Serves 2-3
- 1 cup cooked gluten-free oatmeal (Uncooked oats might be good too – will try this next time)
- 2 eggs + 5 egg whites (can also do 5 whole eggs instead of using the egg whites only)
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional – they are sweeter with the protein powder, but just as good without)
- 1 sliced banana
- 1 cup berries – strawberries were my favorite
- 2 tbsp peanut or almond butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 100% maple syrup (be sure to check the label for high fructose corn syrup!)
Directions:
- Beat the eggs together
- Mix oatmeal into eggs
- Add protein powder, peanut butter, and cinnamon
- Add bananas and berries to batter
- Place coconut oil on warm pan covering the bottom of the pan
- Pour batter into pan
- Cook on med-high heat flipping when bubbles begin to form
- Remove from pan and serve immediately – use maple syrup as needed
- Enjoy!
