    Ingredient Substitutions

    Other berries would be delicious in this recipe!

    I would not substitute other types of protein powder in this recipe. For plant-based protein pancakes, try our blueberry protein pancakes.

    Top Tip

    With these Blackberry Ricotta Protein Pancakes and my Lemon Ricotta Protein Pancakes, it is especially important to spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray. Recipes high in whey can get very sticky!
