This protein pancake recipe is perfect for meal prepping your breakfasts for the week! It's easy to make and freezes beautifully. You know how much I love my Icelandic Provisions Skyr, so I am pretty excited about these freezer friendly gluten free protein pancakes with skyr!
How to make Protein Pancakes
These protein pancakes couldn't be easier to make. I like to measure out all the ingredients in my bowls first, that way it's quick and easy to assemble. Add your gluten free oats, skyr, and all other ingredients in a blender and blend together to create the batter. Then, you just get right to cooking! Of course, make sure you are watching closely while the pancakes cook. They only take about two minutes per side, and you want to be careful not to burn them.
After they are golden brown on each side, add a teaspoon of syrup to the pancake. Then flip the pancake over and let it cook for five more seconds. This is my hack to get the syrup flavor into the pancake without it being messy. It's perfect if you are freezing the pancakes and taking them on the go! You never have to worry about having sticky syrup everywhere while you are getting out the door.
Of course, if you are enjoying at home, these pancakes are delicious with syrup and skyr on top. You can create a fun pancake bar with all kinds of toppings for a fun Sunday brunch.
Where the protein comes from
Now, you might be wondering where the protein comes in for these protein pancakes. We aren't adding in any protein powder, but we are adding Skyr, which is packed with protein! Each cup of Skyr has up to 17 grams of protein. Plus, it's free of all those artificial flavors and sweeteners. In fact, Skyr has about 30% less sugar than regular yogurt. It's full of real ingredients, and I love that it keeps me satiated so much longer.
What's so fun about this recipe is you can choose your own Skyr flavors! We tried it with both the Traditional Vanilla and the Wild Blueberry and Billberry, but you could experiment with other flavors too. Because Skyr is made with real fruit, the flavor really comes through the pancakes!
Other ways to enjoy Skyr
