Some of the best nourishing routines start with something simple, familiar foods, gently reworked.
This Pancake Day, you don’t have to choose between comfort and nourishment. This wholesome recipe transforms a traditionally sugary favourite into a deeply satisfying stack, built with real ingredients that support steady energy and feel-good nutrition.
With a Planet Paleo twist, these pancakes stay soft and naturally sweet thanks to sweet potato and one simple addition: a scoop of collagen (wild-caught certified marine or grass-fed certified bovine), naturally tasteless and easy to blend into the batter.
Collagen is an easy way to add extra protein to pancakes, without changing the taste or texture. Planet Paleo’s grass-fed certified Pure Collagen Powder and wild-caught certified Marine Collagen Powder helps turn a classic treat into something a little more supportive.
It’s a simple addition for anyone looking to support whole-body nourishment, including joint health, connective tissue, skin, hair, and nails.
These pancakes work just as well as a relaxed breakfast as they do after exercise, when pairing carbohydrates with protein can help support recovery. Keep toppings simple or build them up depending on appetite and activity levels.
Planet Paleo collagen is certified for a reason.
Planet Paleo’s marine collagen is exclusively sourced from wild-caught fisheries certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), meeting the global gold standard for sustainability and responsible sourcing.
Prefer bovine collagen? Our Bovine Collagen is grass-fed certified by LIAF, verifying that the collagen peptides come solely from grass-fed animals and meet strict standards for quality and animal welfare.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 small, sweet potato
2 organic eggs
4 tbsp tapioca (cassava flour)
4 tbsp ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 scoop Planet Paleo Marine or Bovine Collagen Powder
To serve (optional):
Frozen blueberries, chopped pistachios, coconut kefir, and a drizzle of raw honey.
Method
Steam the sweet potato until soft, then allow it to cool.
Add the sweet potato to a blender with the remaining batter ingredients and blend until smooth.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon around 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan, then scatter a few blueberries and pistachios on top.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until the pancake feels firm when gently pressed.
Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your chosen toppings.
