I found out yesterday that it was National Pancake Day. What? Yeah, apparently there is a national holiday for all the pancake lovers out there like myself. So, of course I absolutely had to make sure I had a big ol’ fluffy stack of protein pancakes. It kind of seems like it was pancakes’ birthday. So obviously I had to make some birthday cake protein pancakes to celebrate.

 

It took me a while to decide on the flavor I wanted to go with. It might not seem like a hard decision, but trust me, it truly is. I have probably made hundreds if not thousands of stacks of pancakes. The struggle was to find a flavor I haven’t made in a while because I’m pretty sure it would be near impossible to find a flavor that I have never had.

 

 My absolute favorite part about these pancakes was how fluffy they were. Seriously. I think they might have been the most  fluffy pancakes I have ever made. Now that is really saying something because a lot of pancakes have come off of my griddle, but none as fluffy as these. Think the extra fluff factor came from using a little more baking powder than normal and leaving the batter really thick. When the batter is really thick, you can spoon it onto the griddle really thick instead of it just spreading out to make a really big pancake.

 

I used my Beast Sports vanilla protein in these. And, I added a bunch of sprinkles to the batter. It really gave the pancakes a birthday cake flavor. Then, I made a vanilla icing for the top. It just wouldn’t be cake without icing, right? It was just some vanilla Greek yogurt, milk, and sweetener. Nothing too crazy, but it sure was delicious!
