Wholewheat Blueberry Protein Pancakes

A blend of wholemeal flour and protein powder makes these pancakes a lot more filling than the average. Make sure your protein powder is unflavoured. ...These freeze well, so you can make a batch and save some for later. Pop them into the toaster to freshen up. (They dry out a little when being reheated so we recommend serving with some yoghurt). Read more

Notes

We tested these pancakes using a variety of protein powders and found that unflavoured whey tasted best. Results will vary depending on the brand you use.
To freeze, place on a baking tray in the freezer. Once hard, transfer into an airtight bag. Defrost in the refrigerator before toasting to freshen up.

Method

Your notes

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place the flour, protein powder, baking powder, bicarb, sugar and a small pinch of salt into a large bowl and whisk to combine.

3

Place the buttermilk, egg and butter into another bowl and whisk to combine, ensuring the egg is fully incorporated.

4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir to combine. A few lumps are okay - don’t overmix.

5

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of your chosen cooking oil and spoon the batter onto the pan. Dot blueberries across the surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles begin to form and burst in the centre of each pancake. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat until all of the batter is used up.
