Egg White and Oatmeal Protein Pancakes

September 5, 2013 by Julie 129 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

While I absolutely love protein pancakes, the preparation process surrounding protein pancakes can sometimes deter me from making them in the morning. They’re definitely not hard to make, but sometimes that extra step of using an immersion blender and cleaning it is enough to make me shy away from cooking up a batch of the filling pancakes. These egg white and oatmeal protein pancakes are so tasty and healthy!

If you feel the same way, I think you might want to give today’s breakfast recipe a try!

Deconstructed Protein Pancake

This recipe comes to you from my friend Caitlin who first told me about this recipe and promised me it tasted like a protein pancake. I was skeptical at first since the recipe is pretty basic and seems almost more like a sweet omelet than a protein pancake, but after one attempt, I was sold.

Protein Pancake made with Egg Whites, Oats, Cinnamon and Stevia

It sounds really funky, but if you like protein pancakes or if you’re looking for a protein pancake recipe that doesn’t incorporate dairy or protein powder, I encourage you to give it a go! I’ve tried it with family and friends and it gets rave reviews from everyone. These egg white and oatmeal protein pancakes are perfect for the whole family.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1 packet stevia or 2 teaspoons sugar or a couple of drops of liquid stevia (<- my preference)
  • Cinnamon to taste (I use a lot of cinnamon!)

Instructions

  1. Spray pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium high heat
  2. Stir all ingredients together until adequately combined and pour into pan
  3. When the pancake begins to turn white and the edges of the pancake begin to harden, flip and cook for another one to two minutes
  4. Top with syrup, nut butter, fresh fruit or slivered almonds and enjoy

Sometimes my pancake comes out looking more like scrambled eggs than a pancake, so don’t worry if that happens to you, too! The taste is still the same.

I like to eat my protein pancake after my morning workout (try this cardio arms workout — it’s a good one!).

    Too funny! This is usually how I do mine. Sometimes oat bran over oatmeal, and sometime protein powder in a pinch. If I really need to pack a protein punch, sometimes I’ll do a combo of the two. Can tag you on IG with a few of my favorite go-to’s.

    My hubby was like “your omelet looks good” ?I was like it’s a pancake but it is! Haha and I agree- I never feel like having to deal with the blender in the AM!

      I make it up the night before so the oatmeal soaks up the egg while and it is more like a pancake

        is the pancake heavier or soggy??? That sounds like something I would want to do as the oats when I make pancakes don’t seem very digestible

    Have you ever prepared any kind of protein pancakes the night before?? Either with bananas, cottage cheese, eggs, etc. Does the batter stay good overnight? I’m trying to get my husband to eat better breakfasts than Cheerios! Haha!

    I finally made this after teaching a couple fitness classes this morning. Perfect!! I am always starving when I get home, and it hit the spot! I was unsure one “pancake” would satisfy my crazy hunger, but it was soooo filling. Thanks for sharing ?

    I have been blending these in the blender before cooking them to mix everything up. They come out just like pancakes when I do! Taste is perfect too. I’ve even been tossing in a few strawberries for added sweetness. Mmmm….

    What if you pop your dry oatmeal in a food processor before mixing it with with the egg white? I’m going to try that and see if I can accomplish a smoother consistency that is more like a traditional pancake…

    […] Egg white and oatmeal protein pancakes. During the week, I make a big batch of steel cut oats for breakfast that I bring to work, but on the weekend, I try to take some time and make myself something nice. If I’m going to the gym, I like to make these protein pancakes. They are delicious, but the texture is definitely not comparable to that of a traditional pancake. I like to top mine with chocolate PB2 (a powdered peanut butter), fresh berries, honey, and sometimes a dollop of whipped cream. You can find the recipe here. […]
