I LOVE pancakes, so experimenting and creating more nutritious versions of them (that taste just as delicious) is really the best thing ever. I think I’m officially addicted to protein pancakes. Here are my a bunch of my favorite recipes:
- My Favorite Protein Pancake
- Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancake
- Kodiak Cake Protein Pancake
- Oatmeal Protein Pancake
- Vanilla Protein Pancake
And here’s a new one to add to the bunch!
Apple-Cinnamon Protein Pancake
Pancake ingredients:
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Topping ingredients:
- 1 medium apple
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
- Dice apple into small pieces and then mix with lemon juice, water, and cinnamon. Cook in a pot on medium heat for 5-7 minutes until most of liquid has evaporated and apples are soft.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together pancake ingredients.
- Preheat a skillet (medium-low heat), spray with non-stick spray, and pour in the batter while shaping it into a pancake with a spoon.
- Heat until partially cooked and flip pancake.
- Once cooked the pancake is cooked through, remove from heat and top with cinnamon apples. (I also spread sunflower butter on mine.)

Yum! I love how much protein greek yogurt has! What a great way to start the morning!
Mmmm I’ve been enjoying raspberry Greek yogurt lately and it’s good stuff. I’ve never put yogurt in pancakes before but I should give that a try. I’m always hungry way before lunchtime and I think the protein kick would help!
If you’re ever low on Greek yogurt, try cottage cheese in the batter…works wonderfully!
Looks delicious! I love a punch of protein in the a.m. too-keeps me nice and satisfied
I love your protein pancakes! I have one at least 3 times per week
That pancake looks delicious! The apple and cinnamon topping sounds amazing
Your pumpkin spice ones are TDF, in Rachel Zoe terms (to die for, for all those who aren’t as into reality tv as I am:))!
Mmm, a great start to the day and love the topping. Apples and cinnamon are always winners
I woke up this morning craving protein pancakes but didn’t think I had all the ingredients so I made an omelette instead. Turns out I do! I’ll be making these guys tomorrow
I love this healthy pancake recipe…

You can add pumpkin, PB, whatever else you want. How do you always get your one big pancake to turn out so pretty? Mine always falls apart when I flip it!
@Luv What You Do: Medium-low heat on the stovetop is the key!
I love protein pancakes! I had one for breakfast this morning as well. They really do fill you up..
I had a protein pancake FAIL Saturday morning haha, oyeee… We didn’t have eggs so I subbed equal parts Greek yogurt for eggs- little did I know you need both NOT either or!
Mmm…those pancakes sound, and look delicious! <3
Thanks for sharing the recipe! xyx
Love that this is a recipe for one & also that I have all of the ingredients on-hand!
Time ago I discovered the pancake recipe of James Reeson with a lot of fruits, but I really like this more quick version
I love how these use whole food sources of protein instead of protein powder! I’m not really against protein powder, but I definitely prefer to get my protein from food. This recipe looks perfect!
What are rolled oats? Are they the same as old fashioned??
I just saw you on Dr. Oz!!!!! Celebrity girl.
Oh and this pancake looks amazing… Even more so knowing I won’t be able to eat it for a few days. I just got my wisdom teeth out but as soon as I can move my jaw and feel my chin I’ll whip up an oatmeal pancake immediately.
Oh, man. Feel better SOON!
They look thin, almost like a crepe! I’ll have to give one a try!
