What's great about these banana protein pancakes is you can use whatever type of protein powder you like or have on hand!

Make the batter. Combine all of the ingredients in your blender and blend on high until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and a little bit frothy.

Ingredient Fluffy Vegan Protein Pancakes

Cook the pancakes. Pour the pancake batter directly from the blender container onto the pan. Cook the pancakes until bubbles start to form on the top. Flip and cook for another minute or two. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more oil or butter to the griddle as needed.

Reheat the pancakes in the microwave or place them on a sheet pan, cover it with foil, and warm them up in a 325ºF oven for about 10 minutes.

Once the pancakes are cool, they can be stored in a freezer bag or airtight storage container for up to 3 months; use parchment or wax paper to keep them from sticking together. Frozen pancakes can be heated in the toaster, or in the microwave or oven according to the instructions above.

Banana Protein Pancakes [high Protein]

These lower fat, healthy protein pancakes are made without any refined sugars or grains, and they're naturally dairy free. They're also made without banana!

My recipe for homemade protein bars is currently one of the most popular posts on this entire food blog. It's a really comprehensive post with tons of variations (although each variation has oats—no way I know of around that), and it makes sense. It's complete without being needlessly complicated, and it fills a snacking need.

Children in my house, and they eat a ton. When they were really little, I was super careful about their not “ruining” their appetites for each meal, so snacks happened two times a day, and they were limited.

Gingerbread Protein Pancakes {gf, Low Cal}

I wanted to be sure they knew what it was like to be hungry (if you snack all day long, you honestly might not know!), and to be able to judge when they were full. I was brought up with all sorts of food baggage, and I was determined not to do the same to my kids.

So good news! I think it worked. My kids all three love food, and although I may comfort them on a tough day with a favorite meal, it's just food.

Each meal I make has protein, fat, and starch, for sure, but sometimes I just don't have their attention at the table like I used to. And they're nearly

Dairy & Gluten Free Protein Pancakes

Before they take off in the morning, they often only have just a few minutes to grab something. School starts way too early in the morning (why do we have teenagers starting their days at 7:45 am?) so I don't want to pressure them to wake up even earlier to make themselves an elaborate breakfast.

These protein pancakes are pretty much the perfect solution. The recipe only has eggs as a binder and a bit of maple syrup and applesauce for sweetness—and no banana unlike most protein pancakes.

They're still light and fluffy, and super tender. And there's not even any added fat at all, but they're still really satisfying.

Gluten Free Vegan Protein Pancakes

Oh, and if the cook happens to follow Weight Watchers, each generous pancake has only 2 SmartPoints since they're so low in sugar and fat. In fact, most of the points come from the oats.

Since there are only two eggs in this recipe, you can try replacing each with a “chia egg” (1 tablespoon ground chia seeds + 1 tablespoon lukewarm water, mixed and allowed to gel).

Ground oats are a very important part of this recipe, but I have a sneaking suspicion (totally anecdotal and unconfirmed) that you might be able to replace them in this recipe with buckwheat flour. Otherwise, based on our knowledge of substituting oats in gluten free baking, I'd go with quinoa flakes.

Gluten Free Protein Pancake Mix

There is naturally-occurring sugar in the applesauce, and I'm not sure how you'd go about eliminating that. But if you'd like to use sugar-free maple syrup in place of the pure maple syrup, it might work!

I've been adding Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (affiliate link, but of course feel free to shop around) to my coffee and a few other things lately. I really like how tasteless it is and that it's dairy-free.

I think it helps my skin and hair, and sometimes add it to a drink for my oldest because it's great for teenage skin, too. It's not cheap, but it takes me a long time to go through even a small container, and I'm afraid none of the protein powders seem to be very inexpensive.

Stack'd Protein Pancakes

I've also recently started using Perfect Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides (affiliate link). I first tried it in my protein granola and I think I might just like it better than Vital Proteins. Plus, it’s less expensive. Three cheers for that!

I haven't tried using a more traditional protein powder, like the Vega protein powder I use in my protein bars, but I think it would work just fine in the vanilla flavor. Don't measure by the scoop, though, but rather by weight as collagen protein and whey protein isolate are suuuuper light.

Of course, if you'd prefer to make classic gluten free pancakes without any added protein, using a rice flour blend, we have a great recipe for that, too.These low-carb 3-ingredient protein pancakes are so quick and simple to make, they might become your go-to weekday’s breakfast, seriously! Using a blender like the Vitamix will make your pancakes so fluffy you’ll never want to mix them by hand ever again. Made with almond flour, eggs, and protein powder, they are also keto and gluten-free.

So last week I decided it was more than time we started using a Vitamix at home. I had been contemplating the idea for a while now and quite frankly, I think the only thing which was holding me back was analysis paralysis.

There are just so many models and options. Plus, the difference in price between the basic model and the more expensive devices is far from negligible. Nevertheless, I decided to go with the A3300, which is the model right “below” the A3500, which is the Cadillac.

I decided not to go with the A3500 because frankly, I did not need the pre-programmed options as the built-in timer is what I think I will be using the most anyway.

Flourless Protein Pumpkin Pancakes (gluten Free)

I am not going to do a full Vitamix review here, but I will say this: I am 150% satisfied with my purchase. YES it is a very expensive device (although you could buy the basic model and it WILL do everything the higher end models do), but I think it is well worth the price.

How to store protein pancakes.  The batter can be stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Cooked pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days in a sealed container and up to 3 months in the freezer. For the freezer option, add a layer of parchment paper between every pancake for easier use.
