We love pancakes here, but I wanted the family to have it be a little less junky and have some more staying power. You can start from a mix, or mill your own flour and start from scratch. I alternate between these options based on time and whether I have whole grain available to grind.
High Protein Pancakes
You can start from scratch or use a mix, then add in healthy ingredients!
Equipment
- Bosch Mixer any mixer or bowl and spoon will do
- Nutrimill if using fresh flour
Ingredients
If starting with a mix- follow the directions for the mix and add the ingredients it requires, then add any combination of these healthy upgrades:
- eggs
- protein powder
- PB2
- Dried Milk Powder (or use milk in place of water in recipe)
- chia seeds
- flax seed
- finely chopped nuts, or nuts that have been oven roasted, left in larger pieces
Pancakes from Scratch
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/4 cup honey
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cup flour (I use freshly milled flour-Wheat Montana Prairie Gold)
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Add all wet ingredients into the mixer or bowl
- In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients
- Mix ingredients, but do not over mix
- Add in the high protein or healthy ingredients now, adding enough water to offset the dry liquids and bring it back to a loose batter
- Fry on a hot (buttered or sprayed pan or griddle around 375F
- Flip them when the top is covered with lots of tiny bubbles, the second side will cook faster than the first side
- Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
