High-Protein Pancakes

kid-approved, fluffy, zero “protein taste,” and sneaky enough that no one asks questions. You’re not making gym pancakes. You’re making Saturday-morning pancakes that happen to have protein. Let’s go. Kid-Approved Boosts Mini chocolate chips (1–2 tbsp) Mashed banana (¼ cup = natural sweetness) Blueberries (dust in flour first so they don’t sink)

Step 1

Mix dry first In a bowl, whisk: Flour Protein powder Sugar Baking powder Salt 👉 Whisking well matters—protein likes to clump.

Step 2

Mix wet separately In another bowl: Egg Mashed Banana Milk Butter/oil Vanilla

Step 3

Combine gently Pour wet into dry. Stir JUST until combined. Lumps = good. Overmix = sad pancakes.

Step 4

Rest the batter (key move) Let it sit 5–8 minutes. Protein absorbs liquid and softens → better texture.

Step 5

Cook Medium-low heat. Lightly grease pan. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip once. Cook until golden.
