Notes

High Protein Blueberry Baked Pancake Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE EXPECTATION: This will not be light and airy like a diner pancake. The texture is designed to be moist, dense, and cake-like in the center with a sturdy exterior crust.
INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Swapping the whey/casein blend for 100% whey isolate will cause the proteins to seize when baked, making the pancake dry, crumbly, and rubbery.
THE MELLOWING EFFECT: This recipe is fantastic for meal prep. The flavors actually meld and improve after chilling in the fridge overnight. Simply reheat the next morning.
PROFESSIONAL FINISHING TOUCH: Serve this warm right out of the dish. Top it with two tablespoons of sugar-free syrup and a pinch of flaky sea salt to contrast the sweetness of the berries.
