Hello Clean-Eaters!
I just made some amazing protein pancakes that were completely clean!
I found this easy (and clean!) recipe on designerwhey.com.
– ½ scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
– 1 large egg
– 1 medium banana, mashed
– 1/3 cup of fresh blueberries
– ¼ teaspoon baking powder
– 2 tablespoons flour (I used regular flour, but gluten free, whole wheat, or almond flour can be used)
– ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
*I added 1 tablespoon of flax seed for some extra Omega-3s and fiber!
- Thoroughly mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. It should be a little thinner than normal pancake batter.
- Heat a pan to medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Using a spoon, pour batter onto pan. You’ll want each pancake to have about 2 tablespoons of batter.
- Let cook for about a minute and a half. Then flip and cook for an additional minute.
*My batter seemed to stick to the pan easily, so I sprayed the pan between each pancake.

I topped my pancakes with a syrup made of fresh strawberries, a pinch of Stevia, and a little water (blended in my Magic Bullet), along with some nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt.
These pancakes are a great start to your day with around 3g of protein and only 54 calories per serving! (These results are based on the pancakes alone – without the syrup or yogurt.)
Give them a try and let me know what you think!
Happy eating!
