Protein Pancakes

**Edit - 23 January 2022 - After receiving a lot of feedback on failed attempts, it seems that this recipe MUST be used with casein. When people have tried it with whey, it turns out too thin or watery like crepes. So I changed the PDF to say "casein" instead of "casein or whey". My apologies to anybody that has tried it. I understand that not everybody has casein just lying around and I don't want you to have to buy a tub just for this. So in the coming weeks, we'll work on a recipe that works with whey.**
Ok.....just LOOK at the calories and macros on these!
Nani and I spent a LOT of time on this recipe trying to get it just right. These pancakes are honestly so tasty, I eat mine without syrup!
These reheat really well. They are a great breakfast or snack option on the go. Pair them with some scrambled eggs and a fruit for a nice rounded out breakfast.
If you want to make a bunch, they freeze really well also! If you do freeze these, let them cool down before packaging and placing in the freezer to avoid excess moisture build up.
The calories and macros listed make about 4 small pancakes or 2 medium. So adjust your recipe accordingly if you plan on making these in batches for meal prep or storage.

I just made these with truvani pumpkin spice protein powder and just played with the milk ratio and they turned out AMAZING! Thanks for the recipe!
Stacia
Any update on one with whey?
Maverick Hann
Where do I find the recipes pdf?
greta
has anyone tried with a whey & casein blend?
Bryan
Just tried making this and super watery. Can’t even form a pancake 😔
Julie Rhoades
Thank you! Do you have any info on the difference of all the proteins? I have looked it up and read a lot but still so confused as it seems some is contradictory. 🤷🏻♀️
Zach Coen
Some have said they made it with whey and it was fine. Others that tried said they turned out runny. So it's hit or miss. I'm working on a recipe that uses whey. I hope to have it posted soon.
Julie Rhoades
New here! Can I use Whey Isolate protein powder? I didn’t know there were different ones other than plant or whey.
Diana Cohen
Well.. read the edit too late, I just used whey and yes.. super watery. Son said they tasted good though
Jamie Garrett
Can you use pre-made protein pancakes?
Zach Coen
Not yet but it's on the list of things to do.
Traci Sayre
Has an updated recipe with whey protein powder been posted?
Mital Bodalia
What if you do no have Casein Protein Powder. Any substitute ?
Laura Daily
We use Fairlife milk at home but it's not always good for some recipes. If something needs to thicken, the Fairlife milk won't thicken. I've tried it in a roux and a casserole dish and my daughter made a patachoux dough with it. None of those items turned out properly and we think it was because of the milk.
Susan yeninas
Sounds good! I’m not a fan of maple syrup…. Going to try honey as sub. Thanks!!
Shawn Kisser
I have used both whey and casein and I think the trick is in the milk. If you are not using fair life milk I suggest adding the milk last and just do it little by little until your batter is the right texture. if you go all in with the 1/4 cup just add more protein powder to thicken it up.
Amy Gedeon
I just tried this with Casein and it was still thin like crepes. But they taste freaking amazing!! I don’t know what else to do to get them more like pancakes. Should I try everything at room temp?
Zach Coen
Some members tried it with whey protein and they turned out very thin, like crepes. But any brand of casein should work. We're working on a whey version.
Joni Banks
Can this be any protein powder?
Becky
When I tried this recipe it was really thin. I added baking soda and almond flour and it was perfect
Chrystal Thompkins
I used shakeology cause it’s what I had on hand, it is predominantly whey. It worked great. The pan needed to be hot and I really whipped up the batter to get air in it and they were thick and amazing.
Kayla skinner
Thank you! I completely looked past that!
Liz
Thank you! I made them with whey today and was sadly disappointed. I'll try again!
Katelyn Willmon
He changed it to where the recipe needs to be used with casein protein powder only, not whey. Whey makes it too watery or crepe like. He’s going to be working on a whey recipe so everyone doesn’t feel like they need to buy casein for this.
Kayla skinner
Can someone tell me what was changed? I’m not seeing anything different with the recipe
Tiela Kemp
Thanks, you're the best!
Kirsten Begin
Thanks for the update!!
Riley
These didn’t work for me either.. so watery
Lori
You have whey specific protein. Could you use vegan. I have both. Don't want to be wasteful with the vegan if it only works with whey
Stephanie
Mine are more like scrambled eggs. Sad it didn't work.
Jennifer Klemm
Giving these a try tonight. Wish me luck 🙈
Khayriyyah
That’s what I had to do too add kodiak cake mix because the batter was way too thin ☹️
Alyssa Lakatos
I had the same problem with the batter being too watery and thin. I wanted to try making these from scratch but I had to put in a little bit of the kodiak cake mix to get these to actually look like pancakes.
Cyndy Hagan
This one didn’t work for me had to throw away.
Cameron Patterson
Can I size up the recipe to meal prep for the week?
Jaime Posey
does it have to be whey or casein? I have Lady Boss lean as a protein powder.
Malonie Howick
This is the first of your recipes that I haven't liked. I love pancakes so I was excited to try this. I found them very dry and they didn't fluff up. I will try them again in the waffle iron, hopefully it'll move my unlike to like list 😂
Mar
I really do not like milk, even in a recipe. Is it okay to substitute almond milk?
Stormy
I just tried them out and it didn't work for me. Is there a missing ingredient? Maybe flour.
Raquel Flores
I tried this today but they didn’t come out like the pic. Are we missing maybe some sort of flour in the ingredients?
Wendy Carly Perez
any dairy free options?
Taylor Benedict
If you add like a tbsp of pancake batter it puffs up
Jessica
Can someone tell me why mine where thin and dense? I don't really have an issue with that. I was just looking forward to fluffy. the only thing that was different was the protein powder I used. It wasn't the same brand. Could that have been what made this different?
Alyssa Rosten
Ya these turned out more like crepes and I stupidly multiplied it for the week 😅😔
Jennifer Hedemark
I tried them too and didn’t turn out
Angela
Tried them but they didn’t turn out 🥺
Sarah
Additionally I used lite and fit blueberry fat-free Greek yogurt to make them blueberry flavored (and I didn't have vanilla yogurt) it still worked out OK! While they didn't puff up like pancakes ( maybe more protein powder next time? They were pretty runny) I found if I kept it over a medium heat and didn't turn it until the top was completely set, it came out pretty well.
Sarah
well, when I calculated the macros out it was way less protein. One scoop of premier protein powder is only 15g of protein (serving size is 2 scoops for 30g protein and 150 caloriea). When you say one scoop, should it be one serving?
ZR
That pic of fluffy pancakes has got to be a stock photo 😆 Mine turned out like thin crepes.
Lynn
Thank you Zach!
Zach Coen
There is not video for this one because it's jut a matter of dumping all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mixing.
Lynn
Why can’t I see the video? I can see all the other videos except this one. I see the picture of the pancakes but not the video!
Heather
Heather Rice, I think it was hot enough!!! It was cooking as soon as hit the pan!
Heather Rice
Hey girl, just a thought, but was your pan warm enough to start?
Heather
Thanks! I’ll try a different brand and see if that is the issue!
Zach Coen
Hmm, we made these with a few different brands and never had this issue. If your measurements were all correct, it may just be the protein powder throwing it off. But I'm not sure.
Heather
I made these using Herbalife PDM because that is what I have right now…but mine looked like a bad scrambled egg situation and I could not get them turned well at all! So any advice? The flavor was spot on though!!!
Cassi Quiggle
I would imagine you can. That's the beauty of these recipes. Just adjust to your liking and modify the recipe so your macros adjust too!
Dawn Swartwout
These look delicious! Thank you! I can't wait to try these!
Melissa Mertens
Can you use any flavor protein powder and adjust the macros!? I have all but vanilla.
Tiffany Williams
Well now I'm making pancakes instead of going to bed 😂
Zach Coen
Happy Holidays ☺️
Zach Coen
I’d imagine 👍
Janet Mahoney
Thank you for all you do for all of us. Bless you and your family. Happy Holidays!
Roslyn Baker
I’m assuming plant based protein powder will work? I’m not vegan. I just like it and have a bunch on hand.
Xiomara
Finally a decent protein pancake recipe! I'm so excited to try this! Thank you!!!
Kelly McDowell
Excited to try this!
Tessa
Omg!! I can’t wait to try these!!
Alacia Marshall
I have some vanilla protein I need to get use!!! This is perfect for it. Thank you!!!
Michael Poehner
Woooow
Zach Coen
They are definitely hard to perfect! Hopefully you like these. Be sure to let us know!
Zach Coen
Sure! I just use it for the high protein and low calorie.
Jett_nebula
Can't wait to try these
Nicki Demolfetto
Can I use non fairlife milk? I can’t always find fairlife in the store by me
Meghan Haxton
These look great!! Excited to try since mine always taste like sweet egg whites 🤢😂😂😂
Chrystal Thompkins
Wow that is amazing and low calories for what you get!!!
Rachael
So exciting!
Anne Trohoske
I think I found my dinner for tonight😁
Stacy
I love to eat pancakes for supper as well as breakfast!!! Thanks.
Zach Coen
Let's just say we were pancaked out for a while lol
Kat
So how many of these did you and Nani have to taste test? 😂
Zach Coen
No there is no video simply because it’s dump all the ingredients, mix, and cook ☺️
Paula Robinson
Is there supposed to be a video, if so, I can’t get it to play.
Jenny
Breakfast is the best!!
Karla Beltran
Yay!!!! I was waiting for this !!!
Karen
I'm drooling 🤤
Tiffany Harris
