Another twist on the most simple protein pancake recipe, these are keto-friendly Cinnamon Protein Pancakes. And they are delicious!
Like my Vanilla Protein Pancakes with Chocolate Syrup and my Banana Berry Protein Pancakes, these pancakes are made with a vanilla pea protein blend. It is an amazing powder for baking and pancakes! And this cinnamon recipe version keeps the fats and carbs low, while remaining a simple protein pancake recipe.
Because of their amazing macros, I make these protein pancakes often! If I need to take them with me, I just leave off the icing and throw them in a ziplock bag. The macros for the plain pancakes are: Prot: 40 g, Carbs: 3 g, Fat: 3 g, Cal: 200.
I hope you enjoy my new favorite pancakes! (And their amazing macros!)
And definitely try our cinnamon swirl protein waffles! More cinnamon protein breakfast deliciousness.
Recipe
Keto Cinnamon Protein Pancakes
Ingredients
Pancakes:
- 4 large egg whites 132g
- ⅓ cup vanilla pea protein blend 33g
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon 0.35g
Icing:
- 2 tablespoons natural vanilla whey protein 11g
- 1-2 tablespoons water 15-30ml
- a dash of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle over a low flame.
- Beat the egg whites, protein powder, cinnamon, and True Yacon until smooth and fluffy.
- Wait until the griddle is hot enough (when drops of water sizzle up).
- Pour some batter on on the griddle (smaller pancakes flip more easily). These pancakes don't bubble as much as other recipes, but they fluff up. Flip after a couple of minutes.
- Cook for another couple of minutes on the other side.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you've finished your batter.
- Mix ingredients for icing in a small bowl, starting with 1 tablespoon of water. Add water by the teaspoon as needed to make an icing consistency.
- Stack the pancakes, top with icing, and enjoy!!

Hi Elizabeth,
I haven't yet experimented with egg replacers, but it is certainly on my list for this summer! I hope to have more vegan recipes once I figure that out.
Thanks for writing in!

Hi Andréa,
I absolutely ADORE your recipes. The ones I have made are delicious, but I just have a general question. For your pancakes, is there a way to use egg replacements instead of the egg whites? I know it sometimes works (with trial and error) in recipes for muffins, etc. But I was wondering if you knew of any successful way to sub out eggs in your recipes that you have heard of/tried? I cannot eat eggs, but I so DO want to eat your delicious recipes!
:)

Hi Amanda,
Thanks for writing in. I often use a handheld electric mixer, and in that case it is probably more like 30 seconds. But you can certainly use a whisk, and 3 minutes sounds about right!

Hi,
When you say beat until smooth and fluffy, do you just use your hands? or a mixer? 3 minutes or so?
Many thanks,
Amanda
