Blueberry Protein Pancakes
One week ago, I was at Smuggler’s Notch in Vermont attending Blog Brulee, the best food blogging event ever! While there, I whipped up some Protein Pancakes for my condo mates and they were a big hit. For more details, you can check out my recap post of the Blog Brulee weekend and my “breakfast feast” as it was dubbed by my roomies.
This month’s Recipe Redux challenge is upon us, and September’s theme is “Fantastic Freezer Meals”. The idea is to store away summer produce to create healthy heat-and-eat freezer meals. What a perfect opportunity to pump up my protein pancakes with fresh blueberries! It’s so important to pack your breakfast with protein, and these Blueberry Protein Pancakes are an easy peasy way to heat and eat your morning meal in under 2 minutes. My favorite way to enjoy them is to top them with cottage cheese and fresh (or frozen) blueberries for a satisfying jump start to your day with less than 300 calories and over 20 grams of protein. YUM!
Wake up to these delicious Blueberry Protein Pancakes! This easy recipe is #glutenfree, #dairyfree and made with #noaddedsugar. Make a batch on the weekend and enjoy on busy weekday mornings 🙂 https://wp.me/p4LsrV-iX Share on X

I love blueberries and pancakes, so this is perfect! When I saw protein in the title I was afraid I was going to see some sort of protein powder in the recipe, but I am so glad there isn’t! Getting protein from whole foods is the best! Pinning now!

Thanks Alanna! Let me know if you make them ???
Just made these and they are delish! When you say be patient…exactly how patient do I need to be lol. They wouldn’t stay together
Who would have thought pancakes could be made without flour??? These were delicious! I topped them with some light ricotta cheese and really enjoyed. Without syrup and were still great!!!!
Any suggestions for a replacement for the banana(Can’t eat due to acid reflex and banana is a major trigger)?
Hmmm, I haven’t tried it any other way. Perhaps applesauce?
