If there’s one thing no one can say no to, it’s pancakes. They’re stacks of fluffy covered in sweet, sticky syrup that makes breakfast not only the most important meal of the day, but your favorite one too. We took a classic batter and added a few protein-packed plus-ups that are sure to jump start your morning. Our protein pancakes are made with quinoa and topped with blueberries to keep you going all day long.

Recipe Tips

  • tip 1

    Freeze leftover pancakes for a quick weekday breakfast. Cool pancakes completely on cooling rack. Place in resealable freezer plastic bag or container.

  • tip 2

    If you don’t have cooked quinoa on hand, these pancakes are great without it. Next time you are making quinoa, make a little extra to save for this recipe.

  • tip 3

    Here’s a handy tip that’ll help you determine whether or not your griddle is hot enough: Sprinkle a drop of water on it. If it sizzles, you’ll know it’s ready.
