Blueberry Protein Pancakes

Hi everyone! I took a short break from the blog world this weekend because I was pretty busy. I did manage to come up with a new pancake recipe on Sunday and wanted to share it with you! :)

CIMG5599CIMG5623Blueberry Protein Pancakes (Makes 1 Serving)

Ingredients:

  • 2 egg whites
  • 20 g of instant oats ( = a little under 1/3 of a cup )
  • Half a scoop of vanilla protein powder ( I used Designer Whey French Vanilla )
  • 2 packets of stevia
  • A few drops of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon of skim milk
  • 1 tablespoon of water
  • A few blueberries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your stove top to medium heat. Spray your pan with non-stick spray (you can also use olive oil).
  2. Put all the ingredients EXCEPT the blueberries into a bowl and mix well. One you’ve mixed everything thoroughly, add the blueberries to your mixture. Don’t mix the batter too much, other wise it will turn blue/purple.
  3. Use a large spoon to put some of the pancake batter into your pan. You could also add all the batter into your pan, if you want one big pancake.
  4. Once the side that’s facing up starts bubbling a little bit, flip the pancake to the other side with a spatula.
  5. Repeat stage 3 and 4 until there is no pancake batter left.

  2. They look like perfect pancakes- nice and fluffy. I love pancakes with some mincemeat at the moment, or cooked apples with cinnamon. Or some chocolate pb :)

  6. these look amazing! too bad i already made breakfast - but i will definitely make these sometime this week!

    this week i have all my final exams for school, which sucks (this entire weekend has been spent studying!) but i will be super excited when they're over because then i will be a 2nd semester senior!

    my favorite pancake toppings are definitely either greek yogurt and berries or peanut butter and maple syrup.

  11. Love this recipe! I am not big on pancakes but if they have protein in them, I am going to have to try these! I have a hard time eating protein because I dont eat a lot of meat so anytime I can sneak in some extra protein is a good thing :)

  12. Great recipe! I picked up a small package of blueberries today at the produce stand. I usually try to stick with in season produce, but I am craving those suckers like crazy!!
