Some breakfasts are about speed. Others are about enjoyment. These Biscoff Protein Pancakes manage to do both. They deliver the indulgent flavour of caramelised biscuit spread while still providing enough protein to support fullness, energy and satisfaction well beyond breakfast.
Rather than feeling like a “cheat” or a once-off treat, this recipe is built with intention. Protein, carbohydrates and fats are balanced so you can enjoy a sweet breakfast without setting yourself up for a mid-morning crash or cravings later in the day.

Why protein pancakes actually work
Traditional pancakes are often heavy on refined carbs and light on protein, which can leave you hungry not long after eating. Adding protein helps slow digestion and improves satiety, making pancakes a far more practical option for everyday breakfasts.
In this version, protein powder works alongside flour and egg to create pancakes that are fluffy and satisfying — not dry or rubbery. The Biscoff spread adds richness and flavour, meaning you don’t need large amounts to feel satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are protein pancakes good for weight loss?
They can be, when portioned correctly. The added protein helps with fullness, which may reduce snacking later in the day.
Can I eat these on weekdays or are they more of a weekend breakfast?
They work well for both. Many people enjoy them on slower mornings, but they’re still structured enough for regular use.
Do these keep you full?
Yes. The combination of protein, carbohydrates and fats makes them far more filling than standard pancakes.
Can I make a double batch?
Absolutely. Cooked pancakes can reheat well in a pan or microwave. But they do work best served fresh.
