I thought I’d dedicate a post just to my favorite pancakes of all time. Ok, they’re my favorite ‘healthy’ pancakes that I eat on the regular. I didn’t start making these until after I purchased my Vitamix because I think the machine is what does the recipe justice. (How do I know? Because my previous cuisinart blender was a piece of crap and even my parent’s Ninja blender can’t hold a flame to blending the ingredients just right).
What you need:
- 3/4 oats (I use quick oats)
- 3/4 greek yogurt (I use plain 2%)
- 2 egg whites
Directions:
- Add all ingredients into blender* (i use the dry container for my Vitamix). Blend until smooth.
- Pour silver dollar sized amounts of batter onto hot, sprayed skillet. Flip when you see the edges starting to look ‘dry’.
Yields: 12-16 mini pancakes
*Note: I will add egg whites first, oats then greek yogurt. If oats are placed in first, it makes it difficult to properly blend and you’ll make a couple attempts of scraping down the sized of the container with a spatula. And then when that happens, the batter will splatter around the container when you turn it back on.
Once in a while I will add a 1/4 cup fruit into the blender for a pop of color and/or flavor.
And unless we are somehow out of it (OH THE HORROR) I always top my pancakes with Canadian maple syrup. Noms.
What are you favorite pancakes?

I make pancakes like this all the time. I switch it up by using cottage cheese sometimes or adding in applesauce or banana. They’re so yummy and filling.
Thanks for sharing! I have had so many protein pancake fails…I think mostly because I have the heat up too high, rather than the batter being bad. I will have to try these in my food processor and see how they come out!
I’ve found it help to have the pan already nice and hot before pouring first batch, then slightly lower heat as they go on.
yes I’ve had a ton of protein pancake fails too…but these look good, come make perfect pancakes like that for me! They’re all round and cute I love it!
I’m going to need to try these!
YAY!!!! SO making these tomorrow. Even though I don’t have your fancy blender. Sigh.
I always wonder how you make yours! these are so easy- love that! I’ll have to buy some greek yogurt and try them. I ended up throwing some stuff together last weekend and was happy with the end result, but I know I could never replicate them haha
Yeah I’ve tried versions with applesauce or bananas but for me, the consistency wasn’t as great as these.
Huh! I always assumed you put actual protein powder into your pancakes. These sound super easy! Will try them once I’m back home.
Yes- very easy! I don’t like the taste of pancakes with protein powder in them, save it for smoothies!
