7 Protein Pancake Recipes That Prove You’re Doing Breakfast All Wrong

There’s something comforting about pancakes. The smell of flapjacks brings us back to weekend mornings from our childhood when cartoons (not phone alarms) jolted us out of bed and we didn't care how much syrup we drizzled on our plate. But that scene becomes less frequent in adulthood. Tear.

Well, we think every day deserves to be as special as a lazy Sunday morning. And you don’t have to go to a fancy brunch—or sacrifice your health goals—to make your fluffy, carby dreams a reality.

For grown-up versions of your childhood favorite, try these nine protein-packed pancake recipes. From classic banana to vegan tiramisu to stacks with peanut butter syrup, these pancakes will help you perk up and bulk up. (Kidding on the latter, but they will help you get healthier.)

1. Lemon Chia Seed Protein Pancakes

Pancakes have a reputation for being heavy, but this recipe is anything but. Made with egg whites, vanillaprotein powder, banana, chia seeds, lemon, and a few other baking add-ins, they’re an airy and refreshing counterpart to the diner classic. Tip: Use almond flour to make them gluten-free.

2. Pumpkin Oatmeal Protein Pancakes

Fall is to pumpkin what weekends are to pancakes. But that doesn’t mean you can’t change things up. After all, some of the best recipes come from thinking outside the box—and season. And isn’t cream cheese syrup worth breaking the rules for? We think so. Simply combine oats, cottage cheese, pumpkin purée, almond milk, eggs, and spices, and flip your way to the healthiest (but still decadent) breakfast yet.

3. Blueberry Almond Protein Pancakes

We used to think it was impossible to improve upon classic blueberry pancakes. But boy were we wrong. The addition of almond butter, mashed banana, and vanilla protein powder makes these pancakes next-level good. Not to mention, they’re the perfect meal for refueling post-workout—or post-sleep (#doyou).

4. Apple Cinnamon Vegan Protein Pancakes

Switching to a vegan diet may seem tough, but with recipes like this, who needs all that dairy? Made with the oh-so-popular flax egg, spelt flour, Sunwarrior Blend Protein Powder, coconut oil, non-dairy milk, and a few other spices and baking materials, they’re just as hearty as a traditional batch. Our favorite part: the three-ingredient vegan caramel sauce topping.

5. Chocolate Crunch Protein Pancakes

Though they sound like a breakfast treat from childhood, these pancakes are legit healthy—and they’re dairy-free, low fat, and gluten-free too. Cacao nibs add crunch, while chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder provide the creamy chocolate flavor. We love topping with fresh berries and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

6. Vegan Tiramisu Protein Pancakes

One look at the pictures of these pancakes was enough to make us run to store and make them immediately. And while some of the ingredients are a little tough to find, there are plenty of ways to use what you've got on hand. Don’t have mocha protein powder? Use chocolate in its place and add extra espresso. No rum extract? Add a dash of the real liquor—it’s OK, we won’t tell anyone.

7. Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Pancakes

This glorious recipe only takes 15 minutes (tops) to make. Even better: It requires only four ingredients. Simply combine the ingredients in a food processor or blender to keep things natural.
