Hello!
Are you a pancake or a waffle person? I won’t discriminate, but pancakes win for today. I have been making this pancake recipe for over 5 years and it never fails or disappoints. It’s simple, fast, and anyone in your family will love it.
Sometimes I want a little sweetness in the morning but never have time to make even out of the box pancakes. This will not take you more than 10 minutes start to belly!
I have 2 versions for you and they both only require 3 ingredients. My first version is a protein packed pancake with up to 25 grams of protein per serving! Note, the consistency of the batter will depend on the protein you use. Vegan protein is typically thicker, just add a splash of water until you get pancake-like batter consistency. Also, the flavor of your protein will determine the flavor of your pancake. I used a plain vanilla whey protein. You can also use 1/4 cup egg-whites instead of the egg for this recipe.
My second version is a kid friendly recipe that busy moms and dads can get done before their baby crawls (or runs) away! It uses the same ingredients as the protein pancake except don’t give your kid protein powder (LOL). Instead, add almond butter or any other nut butter.
If you are here simply to look at the cuteness my nephew is, I don’t blame you. I love that he has been my recipe tester these past few weeks! Even more, I love that he loves everything I make him.
I hope you all try this easy pancake recipe and love it as much as I do! As Mateo is saying in the above photo, “ALL DONE”!
