Pink Protein Pancakes are a vibrant and nutritious twist on classic pancakes, infused with protein and natural beetroot powder for a beautiful pink hue. Easy to make and packed with wholesome ingredients like rolled oats, protein powder, and almond milk, these pancakes provide a filling, energizing breakfast that supports health and satisfies cravings.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats (ground or whole)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based, approx. 30g)
  • 1 tbsp beetroot powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
  • ½ cup almond milk (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp sweetener of choice (maple syrup, honey, or preferred sweetener)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, beetroot powder, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of color and leavening agents.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and your preferred sweetener until smooth and blended.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry bowl, stirring gently to form a thick, pink batter. Avoid overmixing to keep your pancakes fluffy.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or butter, then pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Stack your warm Pink Protein Pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite garnishes or syrup to make every bite a delight.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality beetroot powder for the best color and flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; stir gently just until combined to keep pancakes tender and light.
  • Adjust the batter consistency by adding extra almond milk if too thick for easy pouring.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
  • Let pancakes cool slightly before stacking to prevent sogginess.
