Until recently, nobody thought of pancakes as a healthy food staple, but things have started to change when keto diet became popular. Suddenly, everyone’s making keto pancakes for breakfast and we can’t argue with the brilliance of the idea. If you don’t want to go full keto but still like the idea of adding some protein to your pancakes, here are three simple ways to do it.

Kefir Banana Topping

Kefir is a fermented milk drink that you can use to make a delicious pancake topping. Simply blend it with a banana and enjoy a fresh batch of pancakes. 

Sweet Potato Pancakes

Did you know that you can make 2-ingredient pancakes with nothing but sweet potato and eggs? Yes, the taste will be different form regular pancakes but that doesn’t mean they’re not a delicious, healthy, protein-packed meal to have at any time of the day.

Swap Flours

If you leave out the regular flour and add almond flour instead, you will instantly get a healthier version of pancakes full of healthy nuts and protein from them. Sounds like a cool trade, huh?
