Sometimes Mondays need a little extra help in order to feel awesome, so I figured trying out a new pancake recipe might be a good way to add a little pizazz to the start of the week.
I used my Greek yogurt protein pancakes as a guideline, but instead of strawberry banana yogurt and egg whites, I used 2 percent Greek yogurt an a whole egg in the recipe.
I also added a little more oats and roughly two tablespoons of orange marmalade to the mix before blending everything together with my immersion blender. (I use a Cuisinart immersion blender and love it.)
In the end I had a delicious plate of orange marmalade Greek yogurt pancakes!
They weren’t fluffy like normal pancakes and were a little more dense, but I have a filling these babies will have no problem keeping me satisfied until I’m ready for a late morning snack.
Now I’m off to teach TRX for an instructor who is out today! On my way to work, I’m planning to make a quick pit stop at the post office to drop something in the mail for my Secret Santa recipient. I received my first present from my Secret Santa this weekend and thought it was adorable!
So fun!
Question of the Morning
- Are you doing a Secret Santa gift exchange this year?

Yum, the pancakes look and sound so great and I love the ingredients! I truly feel greek yogurt makes anything better!
The snowman poop is hilarious!!!!
I’m planning a secret santa exchange for my coworkers 🙂 Can’t wait!
Haha such a cute note!!
Pancakes always make everything better! Even Mondays 🙂 specially with such recipe!! My family does secret friends exchanges and I loved them!!
I’m doing a Secret Santa with my roommates! so fun!
those pancakes look awesome!! we used to do secret santa at school, but stopped for some reason – sad because i always loved it!!
I LOVE secret santa exchanges but no one at my office does it. I remember doing one my freshman year of college though. It was a riot and people spent so much time trying to figure out who had given who what. Some people were really creative too!
What a fun idea of putting marmalade in pancakes. The addition of the oats too all blended is something I have to try!
Your pancakes look delicious! I love your regular Greek Yogurt pancakes, so I would probably love these too. 🙂 I am not participating in a Secret Santa this year, but your gift is too cute!
Yum! This looks so good. I love your Secret Santa present so far. They did a great job. Our office did a gift exchange and it was so fun seeing all the presents. Sadly, half the people did gift cards which are awesome gifts but not very fun.
Ooooo yum! I never would have thought to add marmalade to my batter! And I’m doing two white elephant exchanges – one gag gifts only and the other for my running group!
I love that Secret Santa present hahah the best. I am doing a Secret Santa presents at work but it’s mostly just gift cards….totally not exciting.
I need to get an immersion blender! I’m sure you can use for it tons of stuff – pancakes, soups, etc. The pancakes sound yummy!
We aren’t doing a specific Secret SANTA, but we do a Secret Sister gift exchange all throughout the year within my MOPS group. It’s so fun! Of course because it’s around Christmas, we’ve been exchanging “Christmas-y” gifts, so it kinda feels like a Secret Santa. 🙂
What a great pancake recipe! I love the addition of the orange marmalade!
No secret santa this year but that is okay! I really do need to get on shopping though – we are SO SO far behind!!
Mmm those pancakes look like a lovely way to start off your Monday!
I absolutely adore the snowman poop! 🙂 Such a cute idea.
my siblings and i do a secret santa swap every year. it’s much more fun (and affordable) than getting everyone gifts!
I’ve been wanting to put orange marmalade to use as well, I was thinking some pulled chicken and pair it with rice perhaps for a healthier “orange chicken”!
Those pancakes look delicious! We do a white elephant Christmas gift exchange in my office every year and it’s always a lot of fun.
Mmm, those pancakes look awesome – I’ve definitely been eating more pancakes than usual for breakfasts lately. Perfect choice when the snow’s coming down outside!
And I do a Secret Santa exchange with my dad’s side of the family every year, so I’m buying for a cousin of mine this year.
Love the addition of the orange marmalade! I’ve been adding Trader Joe’s pumpkin butter to mine and it is deeeelicious!!!
That secret santa gift is so stinkin’ cute! I will definitely have to steal that idea for my next secret santa exchange.
I’m doing a secret santa exchange with my family this year. There’s a lot of us so it’s WAY easier/cheaper than buying everyone a present!
No secret santa exchange for me this year, but I remember getting that from a friend when I was younger (probably 13 years ago) and I took it literally haha I thought they really thought I was mean person and that is why they gave me “poop”.
I am doing a white elephant with best friends and husbands! All gag gifts worth $10! Should be very entertaining. We have kids and they are doing a cookie swap with one another.
Those look so tasty! I wish I was creative in the kitchen…it would be quite beneficial I believe!
I rediscovered my love for protein pancakes last week. I cannot get enough and these look like such a fun twist on my typical peanut butter and banana. I must try them!
I looooove pancakes. I even requested that they be my birthday dinner! 😉 I’m not really an “orange” person…. my mom put my medicine in orange juice once when I was kid, which scarred me for the rest of my life. Hello prime example of classical conditioning!
I love Secret Santas! Yours looks fun!
I’m not doing one, but I really wish that I was! I will be participating in a few White Elephant games and those are always fun. 🙂
Looks delicious! I have a non related question about Sadie! I am considering getting a Vizsla because I want an active dog that can handle running with me. My biggest concern is having a dog that barks a lot– don’t get me wrong, Im a dog person and I know that dogs like to bark, but Im trying to avoid breeds that are known for being overly vocal. Does Sadie bark much? Thanks!
my friends and I that lived all over used to do a secret santa and we’d mail things to each other, so much fun! but then some of them ruined it and started looking at the post stamp to figure out where it came from and knew who theirs was…
I love Secret Santa, I wish my friends and I were doing one, they’re so fun!
HI Julie, Do you need to be certified in TRX to teach or you having your training cert is sufficient?
Those pancakes look AMAZING! And now that you mention it we aren’t doing a secret santa this year, which is kind of a bummer!
Oh my gosh, that is the most adorable secret santa gift ever! Also, I am now craving pancakes like crazy…and might break ALL the rules and make some for dinner tonight 😉
That is the cutest Secret Santa gift ever! I love doing little things like that. They just make the holidays extra fun! 🙂
No Secret Santa for me, but I am going to a Christmas party where there will be a White Elephant Gift Exchange. I love seeing what kinds of crazy gifts people come up with!
Those look delicious!! I did your biceps and triceps circuit this morning and loved it!! Thanks much!!
I’m not doing secret Santa this year, but seems fun! I love your gift haha.
Pancakes looks super yummy. I use Greek yogurt and egg in mine, too. I bet the orange marmalade was extra delicious.
My daughter decided as a family we should do secret santa gifts. So we drew and she ended up with her own name so we had to redraw. It’s really cute how excited she is about it.
Love the snowman poop. I think I might add it to my co-worker’s gift bags. I think I’ll stick in some hot cocoa, too.
Cute present 😉
I’m not but now I wish I was!
We may be doing a secret santa with some family members this year and if it’s ok with you, I have to steal this marshmallow idea!! So funny!! 🙂 Great pancake switch up.
Yum! These look tasty.
I would never think to add orange marmalade to pancakes but it sounds yummy! Love the marshmallow snowman poop!
Mmmmm those pancakes look delish!
Those pancakes look tasty! Do you need an immersion blender to make them or would a regular blender or mixer work?
