Having a good protein pancake recipe in your arsenal is excellent whether you’re into fitness or not. I’ve said it before, and it’s worth saying again: starting the day with a well-balanced meal is good for everyone.

Nutrition Breakdown
Again, this is a great recipe to prepare in bulk and freeze for later. Simply double, triple, quadruple, or go as crazy as you want with your batter.
After making the pancakes, let them cool. Then, put a piece of parchment or wax paper between each one and store in freezer bags in your freezer. Reheat your pancakes in the microwave or toaster oven and they still taste fantastic.
