3. How to Make Healthy & Delicious Blueberry Protein Pancakes

Preparation of the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Carefully fold in the blueberries.

Cooking the Pancakes

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

4. Storage Tips for Blueberry Protein Pancakes

Allow the pancakes to cool completely before storing. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a toaster or microwave until hot. For longer storage, you can freeze the pancakes and reheat directly from the freezer for a quick healthy breakfast.

5. Serving Suggestions for Blueberry Pancakes

Top your protein pancakes with extra fresh blueberries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. For a nutritious boost, serve with a side of fresh fruit or a handful of nuts. These protein pancakes pair wonderfully with a steaming cup of coffee or a healthy smoothie.
