Protein Pancakes

Quit buying frozen pancakes from the store and make your own!

These pancakes are healthier and made with fiber and protein to keep you full and satisfied. Great for weekend breakfast or brunch. They freeze really well, so make a big batch and you have pancakes for breakfast all week long, just pop them in the toaster or air fryer to reheat. Prepping ahead also makes them great for breakfast on the go.

The protein and fiber makes them easier on your blood sugar. Make it a complete and balanced breakfast by adding a protein source like eggs, bacon, sausage or ham and some fruit.
