Protein-packed pancakes with oats and blueberries to give you lasting energy throughout the morning. Great post-workout!
It’s almost noon and I’m not starving. As a nursing mama who exercises regularly, my life pretty much revolves around my next meal. Today’s recipe is my latest attempt at creating a protein-packed breakfast that gets my metabolism running but doesn’t leave me empty in a matter of hours. We are now 3 hours and counting so I would say, mission accomplished!
Even more thrilling? My husband said these pancakes were the best part of his weekend.

Very tasty! I can’t get mine to stick together when I flip them though. Any tricks? (Maybe because I left out the protein powder?)
Oh no! Well, I’ve never made them without the protein powder but if you are eliminating a dry ingredient, I would probably suggest lowering the amount of liquid ingredients (like the milk.) Let me know if that helps. We make these ALL the time with no fail so I’m thinking that must be it! Also, when flipping you need to flip fast as you do with any pancake. I learned that from Alton Brown. )
I made the pancakes smaller and it worked much better!
Oh I’m so glad to hear!!
In the ingredients list it calls for flax seed and wheat germ. When mixing the ingredients it doesn’t say to mix these in. I was wondering if that was a mistake. I went ahead and added both, but the batter was VERY thick.
Stephanea – My apologies!!! I have revised the recipe to include the flax and wheat germ. The batter is definitely on the thicker side as it will be a much heartier (and filling!) pancake than traditional pancakes. That being said, feel free to add more milk or water if you prefer a thinner batter. Hope that helps and again, my apologies for the error! :-)
Are the calories listed for a one-pancake serving?…They are healthy..look absolutely delicious (love me my blueberry/oat ANYTHING)…and not high on the carb factor…so I KNOW I shouldn’t care…and simply make these beauties!…Thanks for all you do and share…By the way…your exquisite pork tenderloin recipe with Bonne Maman mirabelle preserves is FABULOUS and fantastically easy to prepare. Your family will swoon…ooh and aah…and think you spent hours concocting it! I have also done a riff on it using their fig preserves …equally wonderful!
Hi Donna – The serving is for 1/4 of the mixture which was one pancake for me but depends on how big you make the pancake! I hope you enjoy them – they were delicious!! And very filling. Thank you for the nice words on the Bonne Maman pork!
Just made these this morning for breakfast – you, madam, should have a television program. Talk about DELICIOUS!! Gavin had 6. :-) Sending lots of love your way – keep the recipes coming! PS: Do you think this could be modified to make muffins that taste like these pancakes?
Awww thank you for the love!! I’m so glad you liked them!! I am obsessed and make them all the time, too. Glad Gavin loved them!! As for a muffin….hmm…maybe more egg and baking soda? Let me get back to you on that one. :)
I love oat based pancakes…and never thing to add protein powder to mine! These sound perfect.
I do, too! I grew up eating buckwheat pancakes so I’m used to having a lot of texture and chew in mine. Let me know what you think of the protein powder! We found that it kept us full for hours.
These look great! I’ve been wanting to try adding protein powder to pancakes.
I had been also – surprised how great they turned out! Let me know if you try them!
Unfortunately she doesn’t state how big the scoops are for the protein powder. Protein powder scoops are not created equal.
I just edited the recipe to include it. :)
Those look so good! I think that my husband would like them too!
Emily, my husband loved them!! He even noticed that they kept him fuller longer than normal.
