These Strawberry Protein Pancakes are moist, fluffy, and made with no protein powder. Drop all the ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth, then add to your hot skillet. I typically make 1 large pancake and top it with extra strawberries. Whipped cream optional!

The Perfect Strawberry Protein Pancakes – No Protein Powder!
Protein pancakes are a favorite of mine. These Strawberry Shortcake Protein Pancakes are a recipe I’ve been making for years.
When I eat them for breakfast, they keep me full for a long time. They also are a great home-alone-and-don’t-want-to-cook for one option. It’s okay to have pancakes for dinner when they are loaded with protein like these!
These pancakes are made with high protein, high fiber oat bran and buckwheat to keep them gluten free, egg whites for more protein, and strawberries for sweetness and to keep them moist.
What You’ll Need
- Gluten Free Oat Bran (preferably organic)
- Raw Buckwheat Groats (blended into a buckwheat flour)
- Egg Whites
- Baking Soda & Salt
- Strawberries
- Optional: Add a little more sweetness with allulose, honey, or maple syrup.
To Top:
- Fresh Strawberries
- Whipped Cream (or unsweetened Greek yogurt)
- Honey or Maple Syrup
- Nut Butter
How to Make Strawberry Protein Pancakes
Step 1: Into a blender, add the egg whites, chopped strawberries, oat bran, buckwheat flour, baking soda and salt. Pulse 5-6 times, until ingredients are just combined.
Step 2: Spray a frying pan with coconut oil or other cooking spray. The pancakes will spread out, so using a smaller pan works well. Cook on low for 5-7 minutes, with a cover on the pan to help the egg whites cook through. When bubbles appear around the edges, flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 3: Top with berries, nut butter, or whipped cream, or other desired toppings.

Yum, these sound good! I recently started adding some vanilla protein powder to pancake mix for days when I don’t feel up to cooking and I’ve been loving it! When I add maple syrup and strawberries it tastes like angel food cake. Need to pin this recipe to try later.
They are my favorite protein pancake recipe. I find making protein pancakes with egg whites instead of a powder makes them taste closer to a real pancake, and keeps them moist.
These pancakes look delicious Michelle! I definitely need to recreate the recipe.. I love strawberries and I strangely also love the taste of protein power.. thanks for the great ideas.
i love high protein recipes. they look great!
Yum! I love the idea of pulsing the strawberries in with the pancake batter. Pinned!
Thanks for pinning! Yes, the strawberries work well in these! I love how hot they stay because of the extra moisture 🙂
I adore pancakes – can never have enough recipes for them. Love the idea of adding strawberries into the batter like that. Must give it a try!
How could I incorporate my strawberry protein powder into this recipe?
I am not sure you would need to add a protein powder to this recipe! I wouldn’t. It’s perfect as it is. Make a strawberry drink to enjoy with it 🙂
