Protein Pancakes Meal Prep

Need a quick & easy healthy breakfast meal prep? Try these protein pancakes! They’re low-carb, high-protein, and incredibly filling.

Keeping my breakfast meal prep fun is the key to staying on track. That’s why these protein pancakes are always in my rotation!

If you haven’t tried them yet, get ready to fall in love. They’re perfect if you’re trying to cut carbs and increase your protein intake while still keeping the foods you love in your diet.

I prefer them to just having a protein shake because they satiate hunger better and keep you full longer. Plus they’re so delicious – it almost doesn’t seem like you’re eating healthy!

Ingredients

• Protein Powder –  Every protein powder has different ingredients, so your pancakes may turn out slightly different depending on what you use. I recommend using a whey protein powder. I have had good results with Pure Label and Ghost.
• Eggs – I developed this recipe using large sized eggs.
• Baking Powder – A little bit of baking powder helps the pancakes rise. It can be omitted, but just know your pancakes will be flat.
• Almond Milk – I like to use unsweetened almond milk for the liquid in my protein pancakes, but you can substitute this with any other milk or even water.

Tips

• Instead of mixing by hand, you can place all of the ingredients in a blender and give it a whirl.
• Allow them to cool on a cooling rack to ensure neither side of the pancake gets soggy.

How To Store

Refrigerator

Make sure the pancakes are completely cool, then put them in a meal prep box or another airtight container. Keep them in the fridge up to 1 week.

Freezer

After the pancakes have cooled completely, place the pancakes in an airtight container like a Ziploc bag. Seal and store in the freezer up to 3 months.
