Out of pure protein pancake frustration, I created this perfect diy protein pancake mix recipe.
I was sick of protein pancakes that stuck to the pan and tasted, well, like protein powder.
After much trial and error (I’ve been eating protein pancakes for years), I realized that there needed to be certain elements present for me to enjoy protein pancakes.
They had to:
- Taste like actual pancakes
- Be moist on the inside and crispy on the outside
- Flip without sticking to the pan like most protein pancakes
- Be delicious! Obviously 😉
I’m happy to say, these criteria have definitely been matched with this diy pancake mix recipe.

How to Make Protein Pancake Mix
For this diy pancake mix recipe, I wanted it to be like a complete meal in terms of macros. Just add fruit and maybe some yogurt and go.
This recipe is also gluten free (check your brand of oats) for anyone for whom that is a concern. To make it vegan, use a plant based protein powder in the mix and egg replacer when making the pancakes.
Start with youroats. You’ll need 2 cups of oat flour, store bought or ground at home.
I always blend mine myself because it is economical and easy.
Just add about 1 cup of oats at a time to your blender orNutribullet(this thing works wonders for making oat flour fine and powdery in seconds with the dry blade).
By the way, I got these absolutely HUGE mason jar storage jars at Costco. The pictures may look like I’m pouring into tiny mason jars, but just look at the Nutribullet for scale!
