Protein Buttermilk Pancakes

5 from 2 votes

Mom's Protein Buttermilk Pancakes are famous in our family! This classic recipe takes me right back to my childhood, with a few ingredient swaps to up the protein! I've used extra eggs, almond flour and buttermilk that is naturally high in protein to make these buttermilk pancakes without protein powder. Light but hearty, and topped with real butter and maple syrup, this go-to pancake recipe is still a kid favorite!
