Blueberry Lemon Protein Pancakes
February 28, 2024
These delicious and protein-packed pancakes are perfect for a satisfying and healthy breakfast without relying on added protein powder.
Blueberry Lemon Protein Pancakes: Naturally Power-Packed Breakfast
The secret to their protein power lies in wholesome ingredients like eggs and cottage cheese. Eggs are nature's powerhouse, offering complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. Cottage cheese is another protein champion, boasting a slow-digesting protein that keeps you feeling full for longer.
But wait, there's more! These pancakes are also:
- Naturally sweetened: Mashed bananas provide a touch of sweetness without added sugar.
- Fibre-rich: Oat flour keeps you feeling full and provides sustained energy.
- Customizable: Add a squeeze of lemon juice and zest for a delightful citrusy twist, or fold in your favourite fruits for extra flavour and nutrients.
SUBSTITUTES
Base:
- Egg Substitute: For a vegan option, use a flaxseed or chia seed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water).
- Milk: Choose your preferred milk, whether it's dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. The choice depends on your dietary preferences.
- Oat Flour:
- No blender? Make your own by grinding rolled oats in a food processor until a flour-like consistency is achieved.
- Alternative flours: Substitute with whole wheat flour, coconut flour, almond flour, or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Sweetener:
- Natural options: Opt for maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar. Adjust the amount based on your desired sweetness and the ripeness of your bananas.
- Sugar-free alternatives: Use stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener to taste.
Optional Additions:
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries work well. You can substitute other fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or chopped apples for a different flavour twist.
- Lemon: Replace lemon juice and zest with orange juice and zest for a citrusy variation.
- Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for a warm flavour profile.
Toppings:
Get creative! Here are some ideas for toppings!
- Fruits: Fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped mango, or diced pineapple.
- Nuts & Seeds: Chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, or hemp seeds.
- Sauces: Cream Cheese, Greek yoghurt, or coconut yoghurt mixed with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Chocolate: Dark chocolate chips, cocoa nibs, or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate.
Don't forget to drizzle your pancakes with the game-changing Whole Earth Drizzler Peanut Butter (Golden Roasted)! This convenient, squeezable bottle allows for mess-free drizzling, eliminating the need for a spoon, and is made with 100% peanuts with no added sugars or preservatives, making it a delicious and guilt-free topping.
Remember: When making substitutions, keep in mind that they may slightly alter the texture, flavour, and nutritional profile of the pancakes. Adjust the recipe based on your preferences and experiment to find your perfect combination!

Notes
- To make your own oat flour, simply blend rolled oats in a blender or food processor until finely ground.
- The sweetness of these pancakes can vary depending on the ripeness of your bananas. You can adjust the amount of no-calorie sweetener to your taste.
- If you prefer a fluffier pancake, separate the egg whites and beat them to stiff peaks before folding them gently into the batter.
