Protein Pancakes for More Stable Energy

May 26, 2026
Protein Pancakes

A simple, nutritious, and smarter breakfast than classic pancakes.

These protein pancakes are designed for mornings when you want something gourmet but truly energizing. A soft texture, a slightly nutty note, simple ingredients, and a dish that remains as beautiful as it is satisfying.

Serve with fresh raspberries, a few banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or dark chocolate chips.

Ingredients

For about 4-6 pancakes

  • 100g whole wheat flour
    or 50g whole wheat flour + 50g almond flour for a softer texture
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 150ml unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp apple sauce
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • 1 tbsp almond or hazelnut powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp olive or coconut oil for cooking

Preparation

1. Mix dry ingredients

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, ground flaxseeds, and almond or hazelnut powder.

2. Add liquids

Add the almond milk, apple sauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until you get a smooth and homogeneous batter.

3. Let rest

Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This short waiting time results in softer pancakes and a more even texture.

4. Cook the pancakes

Heat a pan with a little oil. Pour a small ladle of batter, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until small bubbles appear on the surface.

Flip the pancake and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.

How to serve

  • Sliced banana and peanut butter
  • Fresh raspberries and crushed almonds
  • 70% dark chocolate chips
  • Drizzle of maple syrup
  • Toasted hazelnuts for extra crunch

Why we love them

Because they tick all the right boxes: a complete base, fiber, good fats, a gourmet texture, and more stable energy than with a very sweet version.

Flaxseeds, almond or hazelnut powder, and peanut butter provide a longer-lasting feeling of satiety. This is the kind of breakfast that goes well with an active morning, without sacrificing pleasure.

The "glow" detail

A beautiful plate changes everything. Add fresh fruit, a touch of dark chocolate, or a few crushed nuts to create a breakfast that is simple, aesthetic, and generous.

This recipe is designed for modern mornings: quick, nutritious, visual, and flexible enough to become a true weekly classic.
