The BEST Peanut Butter Protein Pancakes.

You guys… using cottage cheese in pancakes are LYFE. Because hello, creamy, fluffy and protein packed cakes. 

Each protein pancake has 5 grams of protein! If you do a short stack of 3 pancakes– you’d get 15 grams of protein for only 225 calories of pancake yumminess.

ANNND if you’re feeling a little extra, top on some cottage cheese or peanut butter for an even bigger protein boost.

We love pancakes over here. And we don’t discriminate, from peanut butter pancakes, cottage cheese pancakes, greek yogurt pancakes to gluten free pancakes– oh my!

And I know you do too because pancakes are some of the most popular recipes on my site.

In fact here’s a recent reader comment on my Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes

“I was blown away by this recipe! It turned out 10x better than I expected! absolutely delicious! They were perfect! Even though they are gluten free, they are the perfect texture and are so sweet/moist that they just melt in your mouth. I am definitely going to use this recipe more than once!” – Emma

You guys when you send me comments like this on my recipes or make one of my recipes and tag me on Instagram @loveandzest #loveandzest, I’m over the moon thrilled. It makes my day knowing that you and your family are enjoying recipes (like these protein pancakes) that I’m sharing from my kitchen to yours.

Flour substitutions for protein pancakes.

This recipe for peanut butter protein pancakes is made with white whole wheat flour, but you can sub in gluten free or regular all purpose one for one in this recipe.

I have not tested these with coconut flour or almond flour, either. And I’m not sure how they would turn out. This recipe doesn’t call for as much wheat flour because of the peanut powder used acts like a flour. YIPEE!

Whole wheat flour was used this recipe for protein pancakes because we wanted the end result to be light and fluffy, but still highly nutritious and packed with protein. 

Can you taste the cottage cheese in protein pancakes?

I’m not one of those people that wants to eat cardboard-like pancakes or a “egg-y” or straight “cottage cheese-y” pancake. YUCK.

I know some people eat protein pancakes that taste like cardboard in the name of eating healthier, but not this mama.

Oh and you should know if I’m going to eat pancakes there are some flexible rules, like…

1) Pancakes must be fluffy.

1-b) crispy edges get bonus points in my book.

2) All pancakes must have a butter spot. My son hates the butter spot– you know that spot on the pancake that’s pooling in warm butter. Yeah, he always wants me to move that off his plate and onto mine. #momwin!

3) I must have a drizzle of maple syrup on all pancakes. I mean I’m cool with other toppings too, but real maple syrup is a must.

If you agree with me on pancake perfection, I hope you give these Peanut Butter Protein Pancakes a try!
