One of my all-time favorite breakfast meals to cook, this all-natural and healthy Protein Pancake recipe will leave you satisfied with the combination of protein & carbs – helping you hit your daily macros and leave you full through the morning. While being jam-packed with protein and calories from the three ingredients, it is also very cost-effective. It’s quick to prepare and make, so you’ll also never have to worry about not eating well in those early, rushed mornings. These filling protein pancakes can also be prepared the night before, either fully cooked and stored to quickly microwave, or pre-blended and ready to pour into the pan for the following day.
Protip: pair with peanut butter and turkey bacon for even more protein making it a full meal. Or you can top with your favorite fruit and melted peanut butter (my personal favorite).
While this meal is delicious and healthy, it’s not 100% similar to the homemade buttermilk pancakes or what you’ll find at your favorite chain of restaurants. Once fully cooked, it has the consistency and taste of the three main ingredients. To combat this, you can add cinnamon and vanilla extract to give it a little sweetness and improve the taste. Experiment with this, and let us know what you like in the comments!

The coconut oil, cinnamon, oats, eggs, & banana give this recipe a great texture & taste, while also helping you hit those macros. You can easily replace the banana with Greek Yogurt to reduce the carbs & up the Protein & Fat. With the addition of turkey bacon & peanut butter topping you can also increase the total calories & macros.
