What makes them fluffy blueberry power pancakes? They’re higher in protein and lower in fat than typical pancakes, but just as fluffy and delicious as regular. Instead of regular pancake mix, oil/butter, and milk, this recipe uses Kodiak cakes pancake mix, egg white, and Greek yogurt. The sweetness of the blueberries inside the pancakes and on top is an excellent swap for maple syrup to increase micronutrients.
Any type of berries will work great in these pancakes. For strawberries, cut them into small pieces first.
The cooking conditions matter to make sure the pancakes are fluffy. To ensure even cooking, pre-heat the pan on low-medium heat for a few minutes before adding the batter. Lightly mist the pan with cooking oil right before adding the batter. It’s better not to crown the pan with too many pancakes. I cook a maximum of three at a time in a large ceramic nonstick pan. For fluffy pancakes, don’t flip them until you clearly see multiple bubbles forming on the surface, and do not press down on the pancakes with a spatula.
These are a great pre-training breakfast – lower in fat and fiber (to potentially avoid GI upset), good dose of carbohydrates, and some protein. Enjoy!
