Are you ready for a delicious and healthy cinnamon roll breakfast alternative? These Cinnamon Roll Protein Pancakes don’t miss! Packed with cinnamon flavor, loaded with icing, and the best part? Easy to make!
Since we’re using rolled oats and a banana for this recipe you’re going to need a blender or food processor to full incorporate everything. If you don’t have either, here’s a link to my cheap food processor here!
Cinnamon Roll Pancake Ingredients
Add right into your blender or food processor 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1 tablespoon of coconut flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 scoop of a vanilla protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of your choice sweetener, 1/2 of a banana, 1 ounce of unsweetened milk substitute, 1 1/2 large egg whites or 4 1/2 tablespoons of liquid egg whites, 1/2 container of a vanilla Greek yogurt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
Blend or process all of your ingredients together until your cinnamon roll protein pancakes mix is smooth.
Take out a large stovetop pan or griddle, turn your burner on medium heat, and coat it with some non-stick cooking spray.
Pour your mix in and cook your protein pancakes for around 2-3 minutes per side. Make sure to keep your pan or griddle coated for every new set of pancakes. You can also make these pancakes however big or small you want to but keep in mind that your cooking time will change depending on their sizes.
Diet tip? When buying your Greek yogurt look for the lowest sugar one possible!
Healthy Icing
Every good cinnamon roll needs a delicious icing and that’s where this healthy icing comes into play! All you need? A small mixing bowl and a couple ingredients.
Add into your mixing bowl the other 1/2 container of your vanilla Greek yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of your choice sweetener, and 1 tablespoon of cream cheese.
Mix all of those together until you have your desired icing consistency.
Top your cinnamon roll protein pancakes with your icing, a little ground cinnamon, and devour.

This was fantastic! The pancake was moist and very tasty – both my husband and 5-year-old approved. I’m not sure I’ll make the frosting again unless I replace some of the yogurt with more cream cheese. (As a side note, I used 2% fat greek yogurt instead of fat free.) We’ll be keeping this in our regular rotation.
A lot of high carb recipes lately. Where’s the meat at? 🙂
