A high protein breakfast has been shown to support metabolic health (by increasing calorie burn), promote lean muscle mass, and balance hunger hormones. It even decreases the desire to snack at night.
These pancakes give all the feels of that comforting stack of carb-y goodness, except that they’re heavy on protein and light on carbs! I encourage my clients to get a minimum of 20 grams of protein at breakfast, ideally closer to 30 grams. And these pancakes hit the mark.
If you’re looking to turn these protein pancakes into a blood sugar balancing Fab Four meal, I’d serve them topped with ghee for some added healthy fat. Add some low glycemic berries on the side for more fiber. Now grab your protein and get cooking!
