Ever find yourself heading to the vending machine mid-morning even though you had breakfast? While its tasty and convenient to reach for a bowl of cereal or slice of toast in the mornings, these high-carb breakfasts lead to elevated blood sugar levels which then drop quickly, leaving you tired and hungry soon after. A breakfast high in protein, such as these delicious pancakes, actually stabilizes blood sugar and prevents hunger for a number of hours. Yippee!

Wow!! Took me a bit longer to make than anticipated, I think I didn’t blend the batter for long enough – but very delicious!! The best recipe for protein pancakes I have attempted 🙂
Yahoo! great news Vanessa. They’re one of my faves 🙂
I made these with buckwheat meal and skyr (had to improvise, because I did not had the ingredients you used, and skyr has also far more protein :D). They were delish! Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe! Will be doing these more often as a post workout treat.
Awesome! Yes I’m a fan of their yoghurt too x
