Protein pancakes will forvere be the best game changer in my protein repertoire.  I mean, c'mon... pancakes that are GOOD for you?? Like my Healthy Diner Style Pancakes and Banana Protein Pancakes.

Yes, please!

Breakfast has always been my favorite meal.  If I had unlimited time and money and the concept of carbs meant nothing to me, I think I would eat breakfast out at some diner every single morning of my life. 

And I'd get pancakes for sure.

Problem is I don't have unlimited time or money.  But, possibly even more true: carbs.

That's what makes these high protein pancakes so perfect!  Not only are they a delicious (and easy!) way to get my breakfast fix any time of the day or week, they're also super healthy.

Don't mind me -- I'll just be eating my protes THIS way with my lemon blueberry protein pancakes from now on. Just like my Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes.

Ingredients For Lemon Blueberry Protein Pancakes

Cottage Cheese: Don’t skip this one! It might sound a little weird in pancakes, but trust me it adds creaminess, moisture, and even more protein. 

Egg Whites: Egg whites are a clean, lean source of protein. No yolks here, so you’re getting protein without the added fat. They help bind the pancakes and add volume.

Rolled Oats: They add fiber and complex carbs to keep you feeling full longer. Plus, they give these lemon blueberry pancakes that nice, hearty texture we love. I blend mine up with the wet ingredients to keep things smooth and fluffy.

Vanilla Protein Powder: A good quality vanilla protein powder brings flavor and helps these pancakes become a real post-workout or meal-prep-friendly option. Just make sure you love the taste of your Protein Powder it matters -- this is why I use Vanilla Bean Cleanish Plant-Based Protein!

Blueberries: Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, and they give these lemon blueberry protein pancakes their sweet, juicy bursts of flavor. I like to gently fold them in after blending so they stay whole and don’t turn the batter blue.You could also swap for a different berry, like blackberries or raspberries, if you prefer.

Step By Step Instructions

Step 1: Combine the oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, vanilla powder, 2 tsp. lemon juice, ¼ tsp. lemon zest, and water in a blender.

Step 2: Blend until the mixture is pureed. You may need to scrape some of the protein powder from the sides of the blender, as it tends to stick. Once pureed, pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and fold in the blueberries.

Step 3: Heat a griddle or fry pan over medium-high heat and add enough oil to lightly grease the pan, approximately 1 tsp. to start (you will add more as needed for more pancakes).

Step 4: Once the oil is hot, pour ⅓ cup of the pancake mixture into the center of the pan. Allow to cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the edges start to harden and a spatula can easily slide underneath the pancake. Flip over and cook an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the batter is cooked through.

Step 5: To make the optional yogurt topping, combine the yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small mixing bowl. To serve, drizzle the yogurt sauce over the pancakes along with a few fresh blueberries and optional lemon zest for garnish.
