Breakfast has always been my favorite meal. These Wild Blueberry Matcha Protein Pancakes take it to a whole new level!
I love matcha for its metabolism-boosting benefits and high concentration of antioxidants. It’s great in matcha milk tea and smoothie recipes. I’ve even mixed it with my BCAA’s pre workout, but until now I had never used it in my baking. I’ve been wanting to play around with matcha recipes for a while, so I thought a simple protein pancake recipe would be a great start. I’m pretty obsessed with protein pancake recipes, this blog is full of recipe variations for this breakfast favorite. These Wild Blueberry Matcha Protein Pancakes have now soared to the top of my list.
I love how these protein pancakes turned out, the matcha is subtle but detectable and pairs well with the wild blueberries and vanilla. They will definitely become a regular in my rotation. Protein pancakes are an excellent way to get in protein and carbohydrates to fuel my workouts.
A few more of my top protein pancake recipes that I love to make and EAT are these Maple Bacon Protein Pancakes….yes, everything is better with bacon ;), Apple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes with a gluten-free version, my mom’s famous Protein-Packed Cottage Cheese Pancakes (even if you hate cottage cheese, you’ll love these) and Pumpkin Flax Protein Pancakes. It’s always fun to switch things up. I like variety in my recipes.
How To Make Protein Matcha Pancakes
I used the Kodiak Power Cakes mix because I love that it’s made with only whole-grain flour and already has 14 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber in a half cup of the mix. The Fairlife skim milk added an additional 16 g of protein to the batter, so no additional protein powder was needed, which is great because they can sometimes dry out the pancakes if too much is used. You can, however, add a scoop of collagen peptides powder. It won’t affect the taste or texture of the pancakes.
Ingredients Needed
- Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes 100% whole grain buttermilk flapjack mix
- Fairlife Skim milk (or milk of choice
- 1 whole egg
- Vanilla extract
- Culinary-grade matcha green tea powder
- Frozen wild blueberries- thawed
- Optional: 1 packet stevia and real maple syrup for topping
Directions
Step 1. Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside.
Step 2. Heat a skillet on med-high heat and spray with avocado oil or coconut oil.
Step 3. Cook pancakes until bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side.
Step 4. Warm frozen blueberries in the microwave for 1 minute and stir in stevia, if using. Top the pancakes with warm blueberries and drizzle with your favorite sugar-free or real maple syrup.
Recipe tip
If you can’t tolerate dairy, I tend to be lactose sensitive, Fairlife milk is lactose-free (delicious) and digests well for me. I love that it has double the protein and half the sugar of regular milk. You can easily substitute the milk for almond or soy milk and use a different whole-grain pancake mix (make sure it has leavening agents) for the pancakes. Just be aware that this will change the macronutrients and calories for the recipe.

Ugh! Amee, you just hit my cravings like BIG TIME! Matcha and Blueberry are two of my favorites (aside from cantaloupe and strawberries). Jut look at that lush color of the pancake topped with blueberries. I wonder if adding greek yogurt makes it more delish. What do you think? Is it worth? Hahahaha Thanks for sharing this sumptuous treat!
Thanks Sam!! I say go for the Greek yogurt and let me know how it tastes! ๐
Thank you Sam! I love Greek yogurt and I say, why not?!!! ๐
what are the calories here? Looks amazing, I love both of these flavors and the idea of adding a blueberry compote on top
