Add some protein to your breakfast without eggs! Make these Single-Serving Protein Pancakes for a weekend breakfast treat
While this recipe worked for me, it didn’t always have consistent results for everyone, so I created another version of this recipe to try as well: Caramel Chai Protein Pancakes
Finding a quick , healthy, and high-protein breakfast can be a bit of a challenge for me since I can’t eat eggs and I don’t always feel like eating meat for breakfast. To remedy this, I made up these Single-Serving Protein Pancakes that are egg-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and also happens to be vegan!
I like to top my pancakes with applesauce and cinnamon, homemade Strawberry Jam, or almond butter and agave nectar. Choose healthy toppings and enjoy : )
Note: The ground chia seeds or ground flax seeds are essential to this recipe as a binder. Also, the middle of the pancake takes longer to cook (and will still seem wet) so I would use a little lower heat setting (medium heat) and cook longer than traditional pancakes. Because of the type of ingredients, these will not turn out quite like regular pancakes.
I am working on modifying this recipe so it will have more consistent results; until then, I welcome your positive input! It helps me put together a better recipe

Awesome! I’m so glad this recipe worked out well for you 🙂
There didnt turn out for me :[ i had to add a ton more water otherwise the batter was like play dough. i added water until it came to a thick pancake batter constancy and they didnt cook through :/
Thanks for your gracious feedback, Chels! I am working on changing this recipe so it will have better and more consistent results 🙂
I just posted a re-make of this recipe: Caramel Chai Protein Pancakes, http://fitbetty.com/caramel-chai-protein-pancakes/
If you try this one let me know how it turns out!
These turned into scrambled pancakes! They didn’t bind together consequently breaking and sticking. The inside was also still runny while the outside burnt… bummer.
Thanks for letting me know Julia! Sorry this didn’t work out for you. I may have to modify the recipe since it seems it isn’t working for too many people very well. The flax or chia seed acts as a binder, so you could add another Tablespoon ground flax seed if needed.
This is brillant, looks healthy and more importantly delicious :DD Im going to have to try this one for sure!
Thanks! It took me several tried to get the recipe where I wanted it, but I think I got it figured out! Now to make different flavors… : )
