Protein Pancakes
About this recipe
Protein pancakes are a quick and easy breakfast option that packs a punch with protein, making them perfect for those busy mornings. This recipe is designed for efficiency, allowing you to prepare a large batch of pancake mix ahead of time, so you can whip up a fresh stack in just 10 minutes.
Josh Cortis, the creator of this recipe, emphasizes the importance of using a blend of whey and casein protein for the best texture and flavor. By making your own oat flour from rolled oats, you can save money and ensure freshness.
Ingredient notes
- Use a 50/50 blend of vanilla whey and casein protein powder for the best results.
- You can substitute tapioca flour with cornstarch if needed.
Tips from Josh Cortis's video
- Make a large batch of pancake mix ahead of time by blending whole grain rolled oats into a powder to create oat flour.
- For a smoother batter, mix all dry ingredients thoroughly before adding wet ingredients.
- If you're in a hurry, pour all the batter into a large skillet to make one giant protein pancake instead of individual ones.

Heads up — we had to guess a little:
- The quantity of water is inferred to achieve a pourable consistency.
