Easy Keto High Protein Baked Fluffy Yogurt Pancakes

These Keto High Protein Yogurt Pancakes may not look like your typical pancakes but they are fluffy, baked and have 19 grams of protein for one!

Keto Fluffy Yogurt Pancakes

If you love fluffy pancakes but want something that actually supports your goals instead of spiking your blood sugar, these Easy Keto High Protein Baked Fluffy Yogurt Pancakes are about to become your new favorite breakfast.

This recipe was created completely by accident.

While filming my keto cottage cheese Hawaiian sweet rolls, I swapped the cottage cheese for low fat plain Greek yogurt, skipped the egg white protein powder, and used just 1 cup whey protein powder. Then I thought…

What if I sweeten these slightly and bake them as pancakes instead of rolls?

So I poured the pancake batter into my silicone hamburger mold, baked them low and slow, and they came out perfectly golden brown, fluffy, and sturdy enough to hold toppings.

And just like that — we had a brand new keto pancake recipe.

These are:

• Midlife Macro™ approved
• High protein pancakes
• Just 2g net carbs
• 19 grams of protein per serving
• Made with simple ingredients
• Perfect for busy mornings
• Ideal for low carb breakfasts

Why These Don’t Look Like “Regular” Pancakes

You might notice these don’t look like flat, diner-style regular pancakes and that’s completely intentional.

Because this recipe is built on whipped egg whites and whey protein instead of traditional flour, they bake up taller, sturdier, and more structured, almost like a cross between fluffy pancakes and a soft roll.

That extra lift is exactly what allows them to deliver 19 grams of protein with just 2g net carbs while still staying light and tender inside.

They’re baked, not fried on medium heat in a skillet, which makes them incredibly easy and perfect for busy mornings when you want a high protein breakfast without standing over the stove.

Why These Greek Yogurt Protein Pancakes Work

Unlike regular pancakes made with all purpose flour, oat flour, or cups almond flour, these are built on protein.

There is:

• No coconut flour
• No regular pancake mix
• No added sugars
• No collagen protein powder
• No cream cheese
• No sour cream
• No dairy products beyond yogurt
• No peanut butter
• No coconut oil

Just a strategic combination of:

• Egg whites
• Egg yolks
• Whey protein
• Baking powder
• Monk fruit
• Greek yogurt

The whipped egg whites are the base of these gluten-free pancakes, giving them structure and lift. That’s the secret to getting that fluffy texture without traditional flour.

This is one of the best things about baking with egg whites — you get height and structure without excess fat.

The Midlife Macro™ Advantage

If you’re following my keto diet plan or Midlife Macro™ method, you know the hardest parts of any diet are:

1. Getting enough grams of protein
2. Managing blood sugar
3. Avoiding added sugars
4. Staying satisfied so you’re not snacking all day

Each pancake delivers:

• 143 calories
• 19 grams protein
• 2g net carbs
• 6g fat

This is not a high-fat keto pancake recipe. This is moderate fat, high protein, and metabolically supportive — especially for women in perimenopause and menopause.

And yes — eat the yolks. The yolks provide fat-soluble nutrients and are one of the best things you can include in high protein breakfasts.

Stop skipping them for lower calorie “egg whites only” versions. Your hormones will thank you.

Flavor Variations & Optional Garnishes

These have a lightly sweet taste.

For extra sweetness:

• Add a little vanilla extract
• Top with a small amount of berries
• Add optional blueberry garnishes
• Sprinkle small sugar free dark chocolate chips on top before baking
• Drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup

If you want a healthy twist:

• Add a small amount of fresh fruit
• Serve with full fat Greek yogurt
• Pair with breakfast sausage for even more protein

Keep portions mindful to support blood sugar stability.

Why Whey Protein Works Best

This recipe uses unflavored whey protein powder.

I do not recommend:

• Unflavored collagen peptide alone
• Egg white protein powder
• Regular pancake mix
• Coconut flour substitutions
• Oat flour swaps
• Peanut butter powder additions

The combination of ingredients here creates structure, lift, and moisture.

Changing it will affect the final result.

Can I cook these on the stovetop?

No. This baked method is key for structure and fluffiness. You could of course try not whipping the egg whites and mixing all ingredients together and fry like regular pancakes, but I haven’t tested this method.

Can I use regular pancake flour?

No. This is a keto protein pancake recipe and will not work with other keto flours.

Can I store pancake batter?

No. Bake immediately for best results.

Are these good for busy mornings?

Yes. Make ahead and store in airtight container for quick low carb breakfasts all week.

As a food blogger and recipe developer, sometimes the best creations happen when you’re testing something else.

These easy protein pancakes are:

• Gluten-free
• Low carb
• High protein
• Made with simple ingredients
• Perfect for regular rotation
• A delicious keto breakfast recipe
• Supportive of stable blood sugar

And honestly? They may be one of my new favorite high protein breakfasts.

Don’t Want Whey or Yogurt?

If you’re dairy-sensitive, avoiding whey protein powder, or simply prefer a more carnivore-style approach, I already have a similar option for you.

My Dairy-Free Low Carb Keto Carnivore Protein Pancakes are very close in texture and structure to these baked fluffy yogurt pancakes — just without the Greek yogurt and whey.

That version:

• Uses egg whites as the base
• Is completely dairy-free
• Contains no whey protein
• Fits a strict carnivore or elimination-style plan
• Still delivers high protein with minimal carbs

If you don’t tolerate dairy products well, or you want something even more simple and minimal, that recipe might be the better fit for you.

The biggest difference?

These baked fluffy yogurt pancakes have a slightly softer, lightly sweet taste from the monk fruit and yogurt, while the carnivore version is more neutral and savory.

Both:

• Support blood sugar stability
• Work beautifully for high protein breakfasts
• Are low carb
• Help you hit your grams of protein without relying on regular pancakes or regular pancake mix

So choose the version that works best for your body and your goals.
