Protein Pancakes

**Edit - 23 January 2022 - After receiving a lot of feedback on failed attempts, it seems that this recipe MUST be used with casein. When people have tried it with whey, it turns out too thin or watery like crepes. So I changed the PDF to say "casein" instead of "casein or whey". My apologies to anybody that has tried it. I understand that not everybody has casein just lying around and I don't want you to have to buy a tub just for this. So in the coming weeks, we'll work on a recipe that works with whey.**
Ok.....just LOOK at the calories and macros on these!
Nani and I spent a LOT of time on this recipe trying to get it just right. These pancakes are honestly so tasty, I eat mine without syrup!
These reheat really well. They are a great breakfast or snack option on the go. Pair them with some scrambled eggs and a fruit for a nice rounded out breakfast.
If you want to make a bunch, they freeze really well also! If you do freeze these, let them cool down before packaging and placing in the freezer to avoid excess moisture build up.
The calories and macros listed make about 4 small pancakes or 2 medium. So adjust your recipe accordingly if you plan on making these in batches for meal prep or storage.

I just made these with truvani pumpkin spice protein powder and just played with the milk ratio and they turned out AMAZING! Thanks for the recipe!

2023-09-20 20:07:05 +0000 UTChas anyone tried with a whey & casein blend?
greta
2023-06-10 02:34:53 +0000 UTCJust tried making this and super watery. Can’t even form a pancake 😔
Bryan
2023-03-08 16:02:34 +0000 UTCThank you! Do you have any info on the difference of all the proteins? I have looked it up and read a lot but still so confused as it seems some is contradictory. 🤷🏻♀️
Julie Rhoades
2023-01-09 22:56:21 +0000 UTCSome have said they made it with whey and it was fine. Others that tried said they turned out runny. So it's hit or miss. I'm working on a recipe that uses whey. I hope to have it posted soon.
Zach Coen
2023-01-09 22:51:06 +0000 UTCNew here! Can I use Whey Isolate protein powder? I didn’t know there were different ones other than plant or whey.
Julie Rhoades
2023-01-05 23:15:16 +0000 UTCWell.. read the edit too late, I just used whey and yes.. super watery. Son said they tasted good though
Diana Cohen
2022-11-12 19:35:31 +0000 UTCCan you use pre-made protein pancakes?
Jamie Garrett
2022-10-26 12:31:43 +0000 UTCNot yet but it's on the list of things to do.
Zach Coen
2022-08-06 21:52:07 +0000 UTCHas an updated recipe with whey protein powder been posted?
Traci Sayre
2022-08-06 06:15:39 +0000 UTCWhat if you do no have Casein Protein Powder. Any substitute ?

2022-04-13 18:36:25 +0000 UTCWe use Fairlife milk at home but it's not always good for some recipes. If something needs to thicken, the Fairlife milk won't thicken. I've tried it in a roux and a casserole dish and my daughter made a patachoux dough with it. None of those items turned out properly and we think it was because of the milk.
Laura Daily
2022-03-15 15:33:16 +0000 UTCSounds good! I’m not a fan of maple syrup…. Going to try honey as sub. Thanks!!
Susan yeninas
2022-03-10 02:46:00 +0000 UTCI have used both whey and casein and I think the trick is in the milk. If you are not using fair life milk I suggest adding the milk last and just do it little by little until your batter is the right texture. if you go all in with the 1/4 cup just add more protein powder to thicken it up.
Shawn Kisser
2022-03-06 14:38:32 +0000 UTCI just tried this with Casein and it was still thin like crepes. But they taste freaking amazing!! I don’t know what else to do to get them more like pancakes. Should I try everything at room temp?
Amy Gedeon
2022-02-19 15:10:23 +0000 UTCSome members tried it with whey protein and they turned out very thin, like crepes. But any brand of casein should work. We're working on a whey version.
Zach Coen
2022-01-29 00:53:49 +0000 UTCCan this be any protein powder?
Joni Banks
2022-01-29 00:42:44 +0000 UTCWhen I tried this recipe it was really thin. I added baking soda and almond flour and it was perfect
Becky
2022-01-24 03:41:55 +0000 UTCI used shakeology cause it’s what I had on hand, it is predominantly whey. It worked great. The pan needed to be hot and I really whipped up the batter to get air in it and they were thick and amazing.
Chrystal Thompkins
2022-01-24 02:23:53 +0000 UTCThank you! I completely looked past that!
Kayla skinner
2022-01-24 01:33:50 +0000 UTCThank you! I made them with whey today and was sadly disappointed. I'll try again!
Liz
2022-01-24 01:33:34 +0000 UTCHe changed it to where the recipe needs to be used with casein protein powder only, not whey. Whey makes it too watery or crepe like. He’s going to be working on a whey recipe so everyone doesn’t feel like they need to buy casein for this.
Katelyn Willmon
2022-01-24 01:28:09 +0000 UTCCan someone tell me what was changed? I’m not seeing anything different with the recipe
Kayla skinner
2022-01-24 01:24:13 +0000 UTCThanks, you're the best!
Tiela Kemp
2022-01-24 01:22:39 +0000 UTCThanks for the update!!
Kirsten Begin
2022-01-24 01:13:23 +0000 UTCThese didn’t work for me either.. so watery
Riley
2022-01-17 16:12:23 +0000 UTCYou have whey specific protein. Could you use vegan. I have both. Don't want to be wasteful with the vegan if it only works with whey
Lori
2022-01-17 14:28:21 +0000 UTCMine are more like scrambled eggs. Sad it didn't work.
Stephanie
2022-01-17 13:41:43 +0000 UTCGiving these a try tonight. Wish me luck 🙈
Jennifer Klemm
2022-01-11 22:57:55 +0000 UTCThat’s what I had to do too add kodiak cake mix because the batter was way too thin ☹️
Khayriyyah
2022-01-10 18:08:55 +0000 UTCI had the same problem with the batter being too watery and thin. I wanted to try making these from scratch but I had to put in a little bit of the kodiak cake mix to get these to actually look like pancakes.
Alyssa Lakatos
2022-01-09 18:06:56 +0000 UTCThis one didn’t work for me had to throw away.
Cyndy Hagan
2022-01-08 03:59:51 +0000 UTCCan I size up the recipe to meal prep for the week?
Cameron Patterson
2022-01-07 03:31:53 +0000 UTCdoes it have to be whey or casein? I have Lady Boss lean as a protein powder.
Jaime Posey
2022-01-06 20:10:24 +0000 UTCThis is the first of your recipes that I haven't liked. I love pancakes so I was excited to try this. I found them very dry and they didn't fluff up. I will try them again in the waffle iron, hopefully it'll move my unlike to like list 😂
Malonie Howick
2022-01-03 23:06:06 +0000 UTCI really do not like milk, even in a recipe. Is it okay to substitute almond milk?
Mar
2022-01-03 16:53:28 +0000 UTCI just tried them out and it didn't work for me. Is there a missing ingredient? Maybe flour.
Stormy
2022-01-03 01:12:45 +0000 UTCI tried this today but they didn’t come out like the pic. Are we missing maybe some sort of flour in the ingredients?
Raquel Flores
2022-01-02 16:47:52 +0000 UTCany dairy free options?
Wendy Carly Perez
2022-01-02 15:42:55 +0000 UTCIf you add like a tbsp of pancake batter it puffs up
Taylor Benedict
2022-01-01 20:32:57 +0000 UTCCan someone tell me why mine where thin and dense? I don't really have an issue with that. I was just looking forward to fluffy. the only thing that was different was the protein powder I used. It wasn't the same brand. Could that have been what made this different?
Jessica
2022-01-01 17:07:07 +0000 UTCYa these turned out more like crepes and I stupidly multiplied it for the week 😅😔
Alyssa Rosten
2021-12-28 21:44:19 +0000 UTCI tried them too and didn’t turn out
Jennifer Hedemark
2021-12-28 00:00:59 +0000 UTCTried them but they didn’t turn out 🥺
Angela
2021-12-27 23:56:12 +0000 UTCAdditionally I used lite and fit blueberry fat-free Greek yogurt to make them blueberry flavored (and I didn't have vanilla yogurt) it still worked out OK! While they didn't puff up like pancakes ( maybe more protein powder next time? They were pretty runny) I found if I kept it over a medium heat and didn't turn it until the top was completely set, it came out pretty well.
Sarah
2021-12-26 19:32:21 +0000 UTCwell, when I calculated the macros out it was way less protein. One scoop of premier protein powder is only 15g of protein (serving size is 2 scoops for 30g protein and 150 caloriea). When you say one scoop, should it be one serving?
Sarah
2021-12-26 19:29:09 +0000 UTCThat pic of fluffy pancakes has got to be a stock photo 😆 Mine turned out like thin crepes.

2021-12-26 16:33:40 +0000 UTCThank you Zach!
Lynn
2021-12-24 01:16:14 +0000 UTCThere is not video for this one because it's jut a matter of dumping all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mixing.
Zach Coen
2021-12-24 00:25:26 +0000 UTCWhy can’t I see the video? I can see all the other videos except this one. I see the picture of the pancakes but not the video!
Lynn
2021-12-23 18:12:15 +0000 UTCHeather Rice, I think it was hot enough!!! It was cooking as soon as hit the pan!
Heather
2021-12-23 01:38:53 +0000 UTCHey girl, just a thought, but was your pan warm enough to start?
Heather Rice
2021-12-23 01:23:28 +0000 UTCThanks! I’ll try a different brand and see if that is the issue!
Heather
2021-12-22 23:16:38 +0000 UTCHmm, we made these with a few different brands and never had this issue. If your measurements were all correct, it may just be the protein powder throwing it off. But I'm not sure.
Zach Coen
2021-12-22 23:15:34 +0000 UTCI made these using Herbalife PDM because that is what I have right now…but mine looked like a bad scrambled egg situation and I could not get them turned well at all! So any advice? The flavor was spot on though!!!
Heather
2021-12-22 21:39:10 +0000 UTCI would imagine you can. That's the beauty of these recipes. Just adjust to your liking and modify the recipe so your macros adjust too!
Cassi Quiggle
2021-12-22 07:09:25 +0000 UTCThese look delicious! Thank you! I can't wait to try these!
Dawn Swartwout
2021-12-22 07:02:13 +0000 UTCCan you use any flavor protein powder and adjust the macros!? I have all but vanilla.
Melissa Mertens
2021-12-22 03:15:08 +0000 UTCWell now I'm making pancakes instead of going to bed 😂
Tiffany Williams

Janet Mahoney
2021-12-22 01:36:18 +0000 UTCI’m assuming plant based protein powder will work? I’m not vegan. I just like it and have a bunch on hand.
Roslyn Baker
2021-12-22 01:23:09 +0000 UTCFinally a decent protein pancake recipe! I'm so excited to try this! Thank you!!!

Michael Poehner
2021-12-21 22:34:35 +0000 UTCThey are definitely hard to perfect! Hopefully you like these. Be sure to let us know!
Zach Coen
2021-12-21 22:29:28 +0000 UTCSure! I just use it for the high protein and low calorie.
Zach Coen
2021-12-21 22:29:06 +0000 UTCCan't wait to try these
Jett_nebula
2021-12-21 22:28:06 +0000 UTCCan I use non fairlife milk? I can’t always find fairlife in the store by me
Nicki Demolfetto
2021-12-21 22:16:02 +0000 UTCThese look great!! Excited to try since mine always taste like sweet egg whites 🤢😂😂😂
Meghan Haxton
2021-12-21 21:58:06 +0000 UTCWow that is amazing and low calories for what you get!!!

Kat
2021-12-21 21:34:17 +0000 UTCNo there is no video simply because it’s dump all the ingredients, mix, and cook ☺️
Zach Coen
2021-12-21 21:31:30 +0000 UTCIs there supposed to be a video, if so, I can’t get it to play.
