Everyone loves a god PB&J, and I know everyone loves pancakes. So I figured why not combine the two classics into a delicious stack of PB&J Protein Pancakes! It is everything you love about your favorite breakfast combined with your favorite snack. Makes these easy to eat for breakfast, a snack, or if you are like me, breakfast for dinner!!
PB&J + Protein Pancakes = ……
PB&J Protein Pancakes
There are three main components to this delicious stack or peanut butter and jelly protein pancakes.
1: The Pancakes!
These pancakes are quite simple, low carb, and packed with protein. I used a vegan peanut butter cookie protein powder from BPN. Make sure to use my code “MACROCHEF” to save yourself 10%!!!
For these pancakes I would NOT recommend using whey. You could try casein, which absorbs liquid similar to vegan proteins, but whey will turn out dry and not nearly as amazing as these! In addition to the vegan protein, we have coconut flour and egg whites making up the bulk of the pancakes. As with the vegan protein, I do NOT recommend subbing another flour for coconut flour. I use this one from Amazon!
2: Peanut Butter Sauce
You can’t have PB&J pancakes without peanut butter! I love doing some sort of peanut butter sauce on my pancakes instead of syrup. Not only is it lower in sugar, but also packed with protein.
For the sauce I combined some peanut flour, PB cookie protein, a little bit of milk and some Stevia to taste. I love sweet things so I added about 1 tbsp. stevia, but you may not need any for your taste!
3: Strawberry Compote
Just like you can’t have PB&J pancakes without the PB, you also can’t have it without the jelly! For the jelly component I made a low sugar strawberry compote. It is just 3-ingredients: strawberries, chia seeds, and some sugar free maple syrup.
I heated up the strawberries with the maple syrup and mashed them together. Then, I added the chia seeds and let the compote chill in the fridge to thicken! You can do this part at the beginning before making the pancakes so it is ready to go when you are done cooking the pancakes.
I really hope you guys enjoy these as much as I did. Check out below for some of my other favorite pancake and PB&J inspired recipes!
