Healthy Pancake Day Recipes: Blueberry & Chocolate Protein Pancake and American-Style Protein Pancake

Pancake is by far one of our favourite family weekend breakfasts. I have mentioned several times that I grew up enjoying pancakes in Brazil, so having pancakes always feels special and reminds me of my childhood.

Throughout the years, I have tried several different pancake recipes. We love experimenting with pancakes, from making a colourful Pancake Rainbow to Easy Pancake Recipes and even Vegetarian English Breakfast on Pancakes. 

I usually follow my very own Perfect Pancake Recipe, but I have recently tried a new American Pancakes recipes and we all loved it. They are thick and fluffy, the pancakes bubble and rise a little in the pan.

As you are aware, I am trying to make small changes to my diet and lifestyle, in order to get more active and eat more healthily, and I have been sharing my progress on our Getting Fit feature. I still have treats and believe that it does you good to eat a little bit of what you fancy.

Since I’m trying to include more protein in my diet, I thought it would be a good idea to experiment with protein pancakes. I made two different recipes, a blueberry protein pancake and American-style protein pancake.

They were both made without any sugar or flour. Instead I’ve used oat flour, which is basically blended rolled oats, and Lactofree milk.  I’ve added chocolate flavoured whey protein to both recipes, hence the chocolate colour.

The blueberry and chocolate protein pancake was delicious and fruity, but my favourite has to be the American-style protein pancake.

It was served with my favourite topping of peanut butter and banana. Yummy! Hubby said he really enjoyed it and he couldn’t even tell it was a healthy pancake.

How do you enjoy your pancakes?
