High-Protein Blueberry Pancakes

These High-Protein Blueberry Pancakes are one of those really simple breakfast recipes that comes together with just four ingredients.

The batter uses self-rising flour, nonfat Greek yogurt, and skim milk, then I fold in blueberries before cooking them on a skillet. The Greek yogurt adds extra protein while keeping the pancakes soft, and the blueberries add little bursts of sweetness without needing much else.

The full batch makes 6 pancakes, and each one comes out to about 114 calories with 7 grams of protein.

OXO Small Silicone Flexible Turner

Its thin flexible edge helps flip the pancakes without crushing the berries or tearing the soft centers.

How to Make High-Protein Blueberry Pancakes

Add the self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and skim milk to a mixing bowl and stir until combined.

Gently fold in the blueberries.

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Divide the batter into 6 pancakes.

Cook until bubbles begin forming on top and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden.

Quick Tips

The batter will be thicker than a traditional pancake batter because of the Greek yogurt.

Avoid overmixing once the flour is incorporated. Stir just until the batter comes together, then fold in the blueberries.

Fresh or frozen blueberries can work, but if using frozen berries, add them straight from the freezer rather than thawing them first.

Notes

High-Protein Blueberry Pancakes Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE NOTE: The batter will be significantly thicker than boxed pancake mix. This is normal and helps them cook up thick and fluffy.

SUBSTITUTION WARNING: If you use regular all-purpose flour without adding baking powder, the pancakes will be completely flat and dense.

BETTER LATER: These freeze incredibly well. Make a double batch, freeze them flat, and pop them straight into the toaster for breakfast later in the week.

SERVING TIP: Serve warm with a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup and an extra spoonful of Greek yogurt on top for even more protein.
