Soft protein pancakes with blueberries

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the two together using a spatula. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing can make the pancakes dense.

Tip: If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk to reach a pourable consistency.

Step 4: Add the Blueberries

Carefully fold in the blueberries, reserving a few to sprinkle on top while cooking. This ensures every bite has a juicy burst of fruit.

Step 5: Heat the Pan

Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a little coconut oil, butter, or cooking spray. Allow the pan to heat for 1-2 minutes.

Trick for fluffiness: Cooking on lower heat ensures the pancakes cook through without burning and stay soft inside.

Step 6: Cook the Pancakes

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan. Spread slightly into a circle if needed. Sprinkle the reserved blueberries on top. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden and fully cooked.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup or honey, and add extra blueberries or nuts if desired. These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh and warm, though they can also be stored in the fridge for a quick breakfast later in the week.

Tips for the Perfect Protein Pancakes

1. Keep it soft: Don’t overmix your batter, and cook on medium-low heat.
2. Customize flavors: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or a dash of lemon zest to the batter for extra aroma.
3. Freeze leftovers: Stack pancakes with parchment paper in between and freeze. Reheat in a toaster or microwave for an instant breakfast.
4. Extra protein boost: Mix a spoonful of nut butter into the batter or on top when serving.
