Peanut Butter Pancakes (and Jelly!)
This is a paleo peanut butter and jelly that I can stand behind. Peanut butter pancakes that don’t play. These THICC pancakes are a meal, perfect topped generously with my Sugar-Free Blueberry Compote.Enjoy on their own or serve with a couple of slices of bacon for the best start to your day. Just a fair warning: these pancakes are seriously filling and loaded with protein with about 14g of protein per pancake! You’ll be satiated for hours.
Kid-friendly, family friendly breakfasts
Variations of these PB+J protein pancakes
Easy alternative ingredient options:
- I used Paleo Pro Chocolate Protein Powder, but you can use any complete amino acid profile protein powder (whey protein or beef protein isolate based, vanilla or chocolate flavored)
- Can’t do Peanut Butter? Try cashew butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter.
- Don’t have Birch Bender’s Paleo Pancake Mix on hand? Just use 1/4 cup almond meal or gluten free flour + 1/4 tsp baking powder.
- For this recipe, I like 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, but you can use any milk of choice.
Pile high and top with my easy 2-ingredient Sugar-Free Blueberry Compote … breakfast is served!

Instructions
- Add all pancake ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth and thick, look for a thick smoothie consistency. Add more milk a little at a time to reach optimal texture. If your mix is thin, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until texture thickens.

- This recipe makes 6 pancakes, about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. When adding to the skillet, make sure not to overcrowd; cook no more than 3 at a time.
- Flip after 2-3 minutes. Cook another 2 minutes.

Have you tried reheating these? Looks delicious!

Yup. I reheat in the toaster oven 🙂
Dana says
These sound so great! Do you think flax eggs would work instead of the eggs?
Cristina says
no, sorry, flax egg won’t work
Christa says
Cristina, hello!! This may be a silly question that sorta defeats the purpose of this recipe, but do you have a suggestion for what to sub when there’s no protein powder on hand?? Thank you! LOVE LOVE LOVE your books and mindset. Thank you!
