Q&A for How to Make Protein Pancakes

It's very easy! Opt for low-carb flours like almond, coconut, or cassava, along with eggs, a fat source (like butter or ghee), a natural sweetener (like monk fruit or stevia), a leavening agent (like baking soda), a liquid (like water, milk, or a non-dairy beverage), and a little vanilla extract (or the flavoring of your choice). You can also purchase low-carb pancake mixes that include all the ingredients you need except for your liquid.

No. While whey is a common form of protein, there are other options that would work just as well.

Of course, be as creative as you can. Blueberries and bananas work just fine with protein pancakes. You can add the berries on while the batter is in the pan.

Both recipes will make approximately 2 servings, depending on the size of your pancakes.
