Ingredients for Blueberry Protein Pancake Bread

This healthy blueberry protein pancake bread is made with extra healthy ingredients like protein pancake mix, protein powder and Greek yogurt; No sugar and butter needed here.

Protein Pancake Mix – I used the Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Protein Pancake Mix for this pancake loaf.
You can also make this bread any other just add water pancake mix.
Vanilla Protein Powder needed for a high protein pancake mix bread and also replaces the ‘sugar’.
I used Whey-casein Vanilla protein powder from Quest Nutrition.
Non-fat Greek Yogurt another protein-packed ingredient
Almond Milk to add moisture to the donuts – the protein powder absorbs a lot.
Eggs

And then for the actual blueberry pancake bread part:

Fresh Blueberries! You could try frozen ones, but I would put them right in without thawing.
A bit of extra pancake mix to coat the berries

How to store Protein Pancake Mix Quick Bread

This healthy Trader Joe’s pancake bread copycat can be stored on the countertop, in the fridge or the freezer for a healthy breakfast or dessert.

Keep the blueberry pancake bread in an airtight container on the countertop for up to 2 days or fridge for 6 days.

To freeze, wrap healthy pancake quick bread slices in plastic wrap, place in a freezer-safe zipper bag, and feeze up to 3 months. Leave them on the countertop or place them in the fridge overnight to thaw.

Tips for perfect Blueberry Protein Pancake Loaf using Pancake Mix

This protein pancake mix loaf with protein powder is quite easy, but here’s some tips to make sure they turn out perfect!

Use room temperature eggs, yogurt and milk;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well.

Don’t overmix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder – will make it tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have low sugar blueberry pancake bread.

Toss blueberries in extra pancake mix so they don’t stick to the bottom of the loaf when baking.

Alternate Ingredients for Healthy Pancake Bread with Protein Powder

I made this high protein healthy pancake loaf bread with Kodiak Pancake Mix and the brands mentioned above, but here’s some other alternatives you can try:

Protein Pancake Mix: Use any regular pancake mix; You can make healthy protein pancake quick bread with Bisquick or Krusteaz too.
A good base pancake recipe would work as well.

Almond milk: Any regular milk
Greek Yogurt: Applesauce, Banana or Pumpkin Puree
Or Coconut yogurt for a dairy free recipe.

Egg: To make pancake mix loaf with no egg, try a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3Tbsp water let rest 10 mins) or 3 tablespoon aquafaba. I haven’t given this a try yet though.
