Christmas Morning Protein Pancakes are the perfect holiday balance of easy and festive! AND, they are my favorite go-to pancake recipe year round! Packed with nutritious ingredients like oats, almond flour, yogurt and extra eggs, and made extra merry and bright with green kiwi, red raspberries, and white chocolate chips!

Christmas Morning Protein Pancakes

Protein Pancakes Any Day

These protein pancakes aren’t just for Christmas morning! We have these pancakes every week all year. They are so quick and easy! All the ingredients are in 1/4 cup amounts, so grab just one measuring cup and you only need one bowl! Top them with any fruits to fit the occasion. Strawberries and pomegranate seeds would be great for Christmas too! We love to add a smoothie to all our favorite breakfasts!

Healthy Ingredients

Most pancake recipes are full of flour and sugar, and have me feeling hungry by mid morning. Not these! Protein pancakes are packed with rolled oats, almond flour, plain yogurt and extra eggs to keep you going all morning! Real ingredients, no sugar, and topped with real maple syrup.

Instructions

In 5 minutes, you can whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl, add everything else and mix it all together. Make sure your griddle is nice and hot before you ladle on the batter. Spend more time around the Christmas tree and less time in the kitchen this year! Christmas Morning Protein Pancakes are sure to be kid approved and just might become your new favorite pancake recipe!

🌻Get the Homemade Pizza Recipe in the profile.  The recipe makes enough dough for 2 pizza nights for our family of 4 (freeze the extra), but lately I have been doubling that.  So I make the dough recipe, and then make it again in the same bowl.  It takes maybe 15 minutes longer but then I have enough for 4 weeks of pizza nights to put in the freezer.  Only one clean up, way less overall time!  It makes pizza from scratch much more doable.

🌻 Leftover Easter Ham?? That's a very handy ing 🌻 Leftover Easter Ham?? That's a very handy ingredient!  This recipe is officially called Bacon Cauliflower Mac & Cheese, but Ham and Broccoli is a perfect substitution!  Adding a veggie and a protein turns Mac & Cheese into more of a meal. 

In the original recipe, I use the rendered bacon fat to mix with the flour to form the roux which thickens the milk into a sauce.  Since I don't have that here with the ham, just add 3 T of butter to saute the ham and broccoli (fresh or frozen is fine). I also subbed medium shells, any short pasta shape will work.  Perfect easy dinner with a big green salad, BOTH kids liked it too, even the picky one🙌
