Trust me, I would have NEVER thought I'd be here sharing the recipe for these egg white protein pancakes without protein powder<\/strong> (and no banana!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protein pancakes are very popular especially among fitness enthusiasts, which I don't really identify with though. I care about my health, but I am not extremely obsessed with eating SUPER clean (no judgment, it's just me:) love eating nutritious and indulge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But lately I've been eating these EVERY. SINGLE. DAY for the past couple of months simply because they are delicious. Will you try them? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you'll love these protein pancakes recipe, there's a high chance you'll absolutely love my super fluffy pancakes <\/a> as well! Amazing as a Sunday treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I Am Sure You'll Love These Pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love having a sweet breakfast and I usually go either with PB and jam on toasted bread or oatmeal with fruit (I love my vanilla strawberry oatmeal<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes though these breakfasts lack protein, and I don't want to just make use of protein powder (which can also be expensive, not available in some areas or it contains artificial sweeteners). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And one of the reasons why you'll love this pancakes recipe indeed is that it's made without protein powder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, you can create nutritious recipes without it. Plus these pancakes are not only a balanced breakfast, but they're also fluffy and delicious (you can see it from the images here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because there is NO sugar, I top mine with maple syrup, hazelnut spread or PB and homemade jam for a bit of sweetness;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protein Pancakes Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all agree that protein pancakes provide essential nutrients to fuel your day. You'll feel more filled and satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many protein pancake recipes out there call for protein powder as an ingredient, but you can still create delicious and nutritious pancakes without it. So, here's what my recipe calls for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Egg whites.<\/strong> 100 g contain about 11 g of protein, but also vitamins and minerals. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Greek Yogurt. <\/strong>It's loaded with protein (about 9 g of protein in 100 g of product), a great substitute for protein powder in pancakes;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Oat flour.<\/strong> Another great source. Oats have 13 g of proteins per 100 g. Did you know that? (I didn\u2019t, I have to be honest). In addition to that, oats are packed with benefits, starting with fibers but also vitamins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. All purpose flour, baking soda (or powder), vinegar, salt (and vanilla extract but it's optional).<\/strong> Personally I found that adding AP flour made the pancakes fluffier, less dense, probably because it gives structure (provide gluten) to the batter, and that allows to hold the air bubbles. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    (also, try adding chocolate chips into the batter;))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Substitutes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Unluckily, there's nothing you can substitute here except for Greek yogurt. Try to use something like Skyr instead. If you decide to use regular yogurt, add less or the batter will be too runny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Toppings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You can top your pancakes with what you want, based on your preference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
