• Protein Powder – Vanilla or unflavored protein powder works best.
• Eggs (or Egg Whites) – Helps bind and adds protein.
• Greek Yogurt or Cottage Cheese – Makes the pancakes soft and rich in protein.

• Baking Powder – For extra fluffiness.
• Sweetener (Optional) – Honey, maple syrup, or stevia if you want more sweetness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Making these pancakes is easy and takes less than 20 minutes.

Blend the Batter
In a blender, combine oats, protein powder, eggs, yogurt, milk, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth.

Add Blueberries
Gently fold in fresh or frozen blueberries. Don’t blend them, or the batter will turn purple.

Cook the Pancakes
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and spray lightly with oil. Pour small rounds of batter onto the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.

Stack and Serve
Once cooked, stack the pancakes high and add toppings like fresh blueberries, honey, maple syrup, or nut butter.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

• Use medium heat so the pancakes cook through without burning.
• Don’t overmix the blueberries into the batter—just fold them in.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk.
• For extra fluff, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.

Variations and Customizations

Want to change things up? Here are some fun twists:

• Chocolate Chip Pancakes – Replace blueberries with dark chocolate chips.
• Banana Pancakes – Add mashed banana to the batter for sweetness.
• Nut Lover’s Pancakes – Add walnuts, almonds, or pecans for crunch.
• Dairy-Free – Use plant milk and skip yogurt (replace with applesauce).
• Gluten-Free – Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free.

What to Serve with Blueberry Protein Pancakes

These pancakes are amazing on their own, but you can serve them with:

• A side of scrambled eggs for extra protein
• Fresh fruit salad with strawberries or bananas
• Yogurt and granola for more crunch
• Coffee, tea, or a smoothie

Recipe FAQ’s

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, but don’t thaw them first. Add straight into the batter to avoid extra liquid.

Do I need protein powder?
No, you can leave it out and add a bit more oat flour. But protein powder makes it more filling.

Can I make them vegan?
Yes. Use flax eggs, plant yogurt, and non-dairy milk. Choose a vegan protein powder.

Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just blend more ingredients and cook in batches.
