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 an Organic Plant Based Protein powder. Whey protein gives me tummy trouble but if that’s what you use, it will work perfectly in this recipe. 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 keto pancakes look like they are ready to flip!
My batter made 6 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.
HOW TO MAKE PROTEIN PANCAKES VIDEO:
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/3 Cup Water or Almond milk
- Cooking spray, butter, or coconut oil for greasing the pan
-
Place a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or use butter or coconut oil and let melt.
-
Add the eggs, protein powder, and baking powder to a large bowl and start to mix with a whisk. Add the water a little at a time until the pancake batter is smooth and pourable. 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.
-
Stack 3 pancakes on 2 plates and top with butter, sugar free syrup, and a few chocolate chips.
⭐ Did you make this simple protein pancakes recipe? Tag me on Instagram so I can see! @lowcarbwithjennifer
Thank you!!!! DELICIOUS!!!! I added a bit of apple pie spice for fun! So happy to have found your recipe!
Can I use whey protein?
yes
I’m not the best cook but I done myself proud making these. Delicious 😋
If I can make them then anyone can!
How long does the batter mixture keep in the fridge?
These were heavenly! I added powdered peanut butter (PB2) and it was very good. And they cooked beautifully in my Mickey Mouse pancake maker!
Awesome!
Did you use the PB2 in place of the protein powder?
Thank you so much for this recipe I’ve been doing keto and cant eat anymore bacon and eggs, it was really good and less carbs than the mixes.
Are these low carb pancakes?
Yes, if you use a low carb protein powder
Really loved these! I used my bar one protein powder and the taste was great! Just found the consistency a bit watery and the pancakes didn’t keep form in the pan. Is there something else I need to add or just add less water?
Just less water
I make these 4 or 5 times a week. Especially after a heavy leg day! I make mine with egg whites. I still got that protein taste. Playing with other things to hide it better.
this looks great, especially since I’m going to use chocolate powder. yay
YUM!
Finally a protein pancake that doesn’t have bananas and oatmeal! Thank you, Thank you!! I’m eager to try this and I already have all the ingredients.
You will love them!
You had me at “No Bananas”! I hate those vile creatures! I can’t wait to try this
I know, right!
This looks delicious and perfect for Christmas morning
Yep! They would be an easy Christmas morning breakfast!
I use a flavorless protein powder because my kids don’t like the flavored ones. I will have to give this recipe a try.
If you use flavorless you might want to add some sweetener so they don’t just taste like eggs.
love the protein and love that it’s only 4 ingredients!
That’s my favorite part!
These look like perfect post-workout pancakes!
Definitely!
These are awesome!! I’ve made these several times. Much better with almond milk
I think I’m the only person who doesn’t use protein powder…and might be missing out. These look fabulous, Jennifer! Thanks for sharing.
It does add a nice boost!
I’ve looked everywhere, but, I can’t find the carb count, net carbs. Also, for the other pancake recipe. Thank you for your time
I’d like to know the carb count, too. Can’t wait to have pancakes again!
It really depends on the protein powder you use.
I think it just depends on the protien powder you use, they all seem to have a different carb count. 🙂
