What You’ll Need

You only need a few simple ingredients for this healthy pancake recipe!

Peanut Butter Protein Pancakes

• Creamy Peanut Butter (opens in a new tab) – the creamier, the better! Especially for that drizzle later on.
• Eggs
• Mocha Protein Powder (opens in a new tab) – chocolate or vanilla protein powder works great, too. Plant-based or whey protein – your choice!
• Rolled Oats
• Milk – I love using almond or cashew milk, but any plant-based or regular cow’s milk works just fine.
• Baking Powder/Salt
• Vanilla Extract
• Maple Syrup – just a little bit sweetens the pancakes to perfection!

Drizzle

• Creamy Peanut Butter
• Maple Syrup
• Chocolate Syrup (opens in a new tab) or Chocolate Chips (optional, to taste)

How to Make Protein Peanut Butter Pancakes

I love how easy this recipe is to make. Just 5-10 minutes of prep time, then another

1. Blend the Peanut Butter Pancakes Ingredients

Blend peanut butter, eggs, protein powder, rolled oats, milk, vanilla, baking powder, salt, and maple syrup together.

Quick Tip: A great blender (opens in a new tab) helps to make this recipe even faster, but you can always just whisk the ingredients together instead and sub the rolled oats with about 2/3 cups oat flour!

2. Cook the Pancakes

Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter into a heated griddle or non-stick pan (opens in a new tab) with a little bit of coconut oil (or butter). Cook each protein pancake for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until bubbles begin to form, then flip and cook on the other side.

3. Add the Peanut Butter Drizzle & Chocolate

Now for the best part – that yummy peanut butter drizzle! This really brings the flavors together. Mix the creamy peanut butter with maple syrup and pour over the pancakes. Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or sprinkle chocolate chips over the top for an extra delicious breakfast treat!
