A protein packed stack of pancakes that have no oats, no bananas, no blender needed, and these protein pancakes gluten free, keto and low carb!
I was on the hunt for a Protein Pancakes recipe but I wasn’t having much success. I found that they mostly included oats or bananas or both…and you needed to use a blender! Bananas and oats are not my ideal sources of protein so I went to work making a stack of protein pancakes that were easy to make without a blender, gluten free, and are keto!
Speaking of low carb breakfast, have you tried my Keto Breakfast sandwich? Amazing!
These protein pancakes are so stupid easy and simple, you are going to be making them every week as part of your meal prep. If you have time to sit down and eat a stack of pancakes for breakfast, you should definitely give these a try.
I have a recipe for Protein Pudding that uses protein powder as well.
So the few ingredients you need for these easy protein pancakes are:
- protein powder
- eggs
- water or almond milk
- baking powder
I mixed all of those ingredients together with a whisk to form my batter.
I might sneak some chocolate chips into this keto pancake batter next time.
I got my skillet hot on the stove while I was getting my batter ready because it comes together so fast. I used a large non-stick skillet and then I used cooking spray because I do not want these to stick!
I love how these protein pancakes don’t need a blender. I love my blender, but I hate pulling it out for some reason…haha!
I actually do have another keto pancake recipe that requires a blender…so I’m not anti-blender!
The protein powder I use is Vanilla Premiere Protein Powder. I have also heard that Quest protein powder works really well. I would look for one with the lowest amount of carbs, preferably sweetened with stevia.
I used a 1/3 cup measuring cup for the perfect sized pancakes!
These protein pancakes look like they are ready to flip!
My batter usually makes 6-8 pancakes, which is perfect for 2 people, or you can save half of the pancakes in the refrigerator for the next day.
I served mine with butter, sugar free maple syrup, and a few sugar free chocolate chips.

Protein Pancakes - No Banana or Oats!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Eggs
- 2 scoops Whey Protein powder (Click here to see my favorite on Amazon)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 6 Tablespoons Water or Almond milk
- Cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil for greasing the pan
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or use butter or coconut oil and let melt.
- Mix the eggs, protein powder, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the water or almond milk a little at a time until the batter is pancake batter consistency. You may not need all of the water.
- Using a 1/3 cup measure, pour out the batter into the skillet. I was able to make 3 at a time. They are ready to flip when bubble start to form on the top.
- Serve with butter, sugar free syrup, and chocolate chips.

JENNIFER'S TIPS
- You can try this with other protein powders but I cannot guarantee it will work. I have heard that Quest protein powder also works well for protein recipes. It really needs to be a protein powder that tastes good on it's own!

These are really great, i used PHD diet whey protein and they turned out a treat. Thank you so much!
Mitchell says
Excellent, I used the Cinnamon crunch will definitely be adding more cinnamon next time!
Kaycee says
Just made these, they’re pretty good! I used Ghost whey protein and added about half a smashed banana for some moisture and used 3 tbsp of water. They were a bit dry, next time I might add the extra water or use oat milk. I feel like this is a recipe that once you perfect it with a certain brand powder, they are a hit every time. Thanks for posting!
Sharon Dian says
This is very helpfull because all the recipes i found has osts or banana!
I will try soon rhanksss
Lizzie says
These were absolutely amazing! I have an egg allergy, so I made them with flaxseed meal eggs, and it was nutty and yummy! I also have a banana and oat allergy, so I very much appreciate the effort you put into this recipe!
I served it with microwaved apple slices on top (I’m not Keto), and it hit the spot.
Thank you!
Abi says
This is amazing !! Just the perfect one for my macros ! I adjusted the almond milk till I had the batter consistency (I used 2 tablespoons with 1.5 scoops of protein ). Thanks for this amazing recipe
Zinzi Kaplan says
Super great! I used Apollo protein’s ooey goey cinnamon roll flavor and half the recipe was enough to make one decent sized pancake that was perfect for my sweets craving
Kat M. says
Mine turned out to be powdery and hard to choke down without chasing with a lot of water. I used chocolate protein, so they smelled like brownies! That was the only thing good about them. The brand of protein powder must be the secret.
Britt says
This recipe is great! I used the PEScience cake pop protein powder (only one on hand) and only 2-3 tablespoons of cashew milk.
It came out SO GOOD. Little Sweet due to the cake pop flavor protein powder, but unbelievably pancake like. This will be my go-to recipe from now on!
Jess says

Bailey says

Ly says
Any substitute for baking powder?
jenniferbanz says
I don’t believe so. That’s what makes them rise
Bruce says
Tried to copy and paste this in a text to send to my wife’s phone and it was ridiculous how difficult and how many pop ups would keep coming up. I never did get it. Forget it, I’ll try another site and recipe.

This recipe did not turn out for me; it was very runny and after being cooked the pancakes just tasted like powder. You will definitely more than likely not need all 6 tablespoons of the liquid. I also used a vanilla whey protein from Nutrikey just for reference. Jennifer, could you include the amount of protein used in grams, as all scoop sizes vary? Thank you!
Adrienne says
I used 2 scoops of my Sunwarrior protein, and about 1/4 cup of almond milk. So freaking good. Thank you! Next time, I’ll add crumbled bacon. Mmmm! Thank you! My macros look beautiful today!
Kenneth says

Jordan says
Love this pancakes, I didn’t use whey protein I used “my protein” powder, one a scoop of mint chocolate and one scoop of vanilla, I used 3 tablespoons of water and they came out perfect. I didn’t get 6-8 with 1/3 measuring cup I only got 3 normal size and one small one, but I was satisfied.
