We’ve got an easy blueberry protein pancakes recipe for you that’s made with 100% whole grains, your favorite protein powder, mashed banana, and blueberries! You’ll never use another protein powder pancakes recipe again.
Hello pancake lovers! Here at Fit Foodie HQ, we eat pancakes at least once a week…and sometimes for dinner. Lately, we’ve been loving protein pancakes because you get little extra nutrition in your meal by using a scoop or two of your favorite protein powder.
Follow our little step-by-step guide into making the most delicious protein-packed blueberry pancakes!
How to Make Protein Pancakes
Making protein pancakes is super simple and we’ve broken things down into just a few steps so that you can make the tastiest protein powder pancakes out there!
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
Our protein powder recipe calls for whole ingredients. Here’s what you need:
- white whole wheat flour
- protein powder
- blueberries
- banana
- eggs
- vanilla
- unsweetend almond milk
- coconut oil
Step 2: Use your Favorite Protein Powder
We tested this recipe using our favorite plant-based protein powder, Garden of Life, however, you can use whatever protein powder you want! If you’re unsure of what kind of protein powder you might like, check out our Guide to Protein Powders. We tested some of the best protein powders out there in the plant-based and whey categories!
Step 3: Don’t overmix
Like all pancake recipes, make sure not to overmix your batter! There’s nothing worse than a flat pancake…amiright?
Step 4: Cook on medium
When cooking your blueberry protein pancakes, turn your burner to medium heat. This will allow your pancakes to fully cook in the middle. If the burner is too hot, you risk scorching the outside while undercooking the inside.
Step 5: Toppings
I’m a toppings girl. There’s no such thing as a stack of pancakes without toppings. Here are some we recommend for these blueberry protein pancakes!
- cashew butter
- fresh blueberries
- maple syrup
- chia seeds
- hemp seeds

These protein pancakes are delicious! I left out the blueberries and instead topped mine with banana, nut butter, blueberries, hemp, and granola. It was the perfect late night snack! 🙂
Okay I have been looking for a protein pancake recipe where you “can’t taste” the protein for yeaaars. No matter how many reviews I read, I found they still never lived up to expectations. But these do!! I’m wow-ed 🙂 highly recommend for anyone looking for the same thing!
YAY!!!!!
I used Vega Organic Protein & Greens in Creamy Vanilla. I was a bit skeptical at first but my boyfriend said they are the best pancakes I’ve made in a long time, and he is quite a pancake connoisseur. I agree they really taste great, and were easy enough to make. I’m not sure how much milk I used, just kept adding until it was the right consistency for pancake batter. Will definitely make again!
The recipe came out as a disaster. You can only use specific protein powder or else the batter doesn’t mix well. But it wasn’t specified. Also do not add blueberries to the mix as it weighs it down when you flip it it shreds the pancake. The water from the blueberries further adds to the water content. Writer needs better instructions. Just a poorly written recipe all-around, and this is for someone who has more experience as a chef or baker.
Yeah, I too thought adding blueberries to the batter was weird. The author doesn’t specify whether we should mash them or not (wouldn’t that turn the pancakes blue-ish though? And like you said, they’re hard to flip and tear apart if the berries were added whole). Most of the recipes on here -while presenting interesting ideas- are poorly written and skip important steps/instructions because the author is too busy telling us she’s vegan/gluten free/the second coming of Christ.
Hi, my apologies if this is a silly question but in Australia we don’t usually use the word ‘yeild’ in recipes so I’m not quite sure. Your recipe states that it yeilds 4, does this mean that it serves 4 or makes 4? I’ve just made these (tastes great by the way!!) and using 1/3 cup of batter as per recipe I’ve made 8. In the nutritional facts it says that a serving is 1/4. Assuming this is just 1 pancake? Many thanks
These were the best!! I used Hemp protein Powder and added Chocolate chips for flavour. I was worried the hemp protein would over power the mix but I could barely taste it!! Will definitely use this recipe for breakfast on the go! Thanks
So delicious, healthy ingredients and easy to make! I’m excited to try more recipes like this. Thank you for sharing your talents ladies!
No offense, but these tasted pretty bad. And I bought a big bag of your favorite protein powder from California.
Any recommendations on how to tweak the recipe to make them more palatable?
Hey Lauri! I’m not sure how to help you here. We love this recipe! Maybe make a different one or use your protein powder in smoothies!
Do you have the nutritional breakdown of this recipe?
It’s looking so delicious… Mmmmmmm I would love to cook it right now…
Like all pancake recipes, make sure not to overmix your batter! There’s nothing worse than a flat pancake…amiright?
