How to Turn Protein Pancakes into Healthy Desserts

Spoiler: your favourite dessert can have 39g of protein per 100g. Here's how to turn CORIAL Protein Pancakes into guilt-free desserts.

The product: CORIAL Protein Pancakes

Made in Portugal 🇵🇹 · No artificial sweeteners · Zero Compromises

Available flavours: Chocolate Chip — the obvious choice for desserts. Rich, intense, irresistible. · Apple & Cinnamon — smooth, comforting and lightly sweet. · Vanilla — the perfect base. You define the dessert flavour.

Dessert can also work for you.

For years, "healthy dessert" was a euphemism for something that looks good but is no fun at all. Yoghurt with fruit. A square of dark chocolate. Nothing wrong with that — but we can do better.

CORIAL Protein Pancakes are technically a breakfast item. But the batter is versatile enough to be transformed into filled crepes, tarts, mug cakes and even tiramisu. With real protein, sweetened with natural dates, and without a single ingredient you can't read aloud.

3 tricks before you start

1. Thicker batter = fluffier. For stacked desserts, use less liquid than indicated. A denser batter creates pancakes with a cake-like texture — ideal for stacks with fillings.
2. Add cocoa to the batter. A tablespoon of pure cocoa powder transforms CORIAL Chocolate Chip Pancakes into a brownie base. Nobody can resist.
3. Temperature matters. For thin crepes: medium-high heat and a very hot pan. For fluffy dessert pancakes: medium heat with a lid — the steam creates a softer, more uniform texture.

Traditional dessert vs. CORIAL Pancakes

The numbers speak for themselves. The difference is not just in the protein — it's in the quality of the ingredients and how you feel after eating.

4 desserts. One batter.

All the recipes below start with the same mix — CORIAL Protein Pancakes. What changes is the shape, the filling, and when you'll eat them.

Recipe 1 · Pancake Stack with Dark Chocolate Sauce

CORIAL Chocolate Chip Pancakes · Hot Dessert · ⏱ 10 min · ~20g protein / serving · ⭐ Most popular

Three layers of protein pancakes, filled with peanut butter and topped with hot cocoa sauce. A dessert that takes 10 minutes to make and looks like it took much longer.

Ingredients (1 serving):

• 100g CORIAL Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix
• 120ml Milk (or plant-based drink)
• 2 tbsp. Peanut butter
• 1 tbsp. Pure cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 3 tbsp. Hot milk (for the sauce)
• A drizzle of Honey or maple syrup
• To taste. Sea salt flakes (for finishing)

Preparation:

1. Mix the CORIAL mix with the milk. Denser batter than usual — use less milk if necessary.
2. Cook 3 small pancakes in a non-stick pan over medium heat, 2 min per side.
3. For the sauce: mix the cocoa powder with the hot milk and honey. Stir until smooth and glossy.
4. Stack the pancakes with peanut butter between each layer. Drizzle with cocoa sauce and a pinch of sea salt.

💡 Level up: Add a banana cut in half and grilled in the pan for 1 minute — it caramelises naturally and is amazing. All the sweetness is natural, with no added sugar.

Recipe 2 · Crepes Filled with Ricotta and Apple Cream

CORIAL Apple & Cinnamon Pancakes · Cold Dessert · ⏱ 15 min · ~18g protein / serving · 🍽️ To impress

Thin, elegant, and absurdly easy. CORIAL Apple & Cinnamon Pancakes are rolled with ricotta cream and fresh fruit. Looks like a restaurant. Takes 15 minutes.

Ingredients (2 servings):

• 100g CORIAL Apple & Cinnamon Pancake Mix
• 180ml Milk (more liquid = thin crepes)
• 150g Fresh ricotta
• 1 tbsp. Honey
• 1 tsp. Lemon zest
• 100g Apple
• To taste. Fresh mint (for garnish)

Preparation:

1. Mix the CORIAL mix with the milk until you get a very liquid batter. Cook 4 thin crepes in a hot pan.
2. For the cream: beat the ricotta with honey and lemon zest until smooth and airy.
3. Spread the ricotta cream in the centre of each crepe. Add sliced apple.
4. Fold into quarters or roll. Serve 2 per serving with more apple and mint leaves.

💡 To prepare in advance: Crepes can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Store the cream separately and assemble just before serving — it tastes just like freshly made.

Recipe 3 · Vanilla Protein Mug Cake in 90 Seconds

CORIAL Vanilla Pancakes · Mug Cake · ⏱ 3 min · ~15g protein / serving · 🌙 Late-night dessert

10 pm, craving something sweet, don't want to turn on the oven. Solution: mug cake with CORIAL Vanilla Pancakes, ready in 90 seconds in the microwave. Warm, fluffy, and with real protein.

Ingredients (1 mug):

• 50g CORIAL Vanilla Pancake Mix
• 60ml Milk (or oat drink)
• 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. Coconut oil (or mild olive oil)
• 10g Chopped dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• To taste. Peanut butter (topping)

Preparation:

1. In a large mug (minimum 350ml), mix all ingredients with a fork until there are no lumps.
2. Add the chopped dark chocolate and fold into the batter.
3. Microwave for 90 seconds. The centre should be slightly moist — it will continue to cook with residual heat.
4. Wait 1 minute. Add a spoonful of peanut butter on top and eat directly from the mug.

💡 Attention: Each microwave is different. If yours is more powerful, start with 70 seconds. The secret is to stop before it's completely dry.

Recipe 4 · No-Bake Pancake Tiramisu

CORIAL Chocolate Chip Pancakes · Party Dessert · ⏱ 20 min + 2h chilling · ~22g protein / serving · 🎉 To impress

Yes, you read that right. Tiramisu. With protein pancakes instead of ladyfingers. Same logic — layers of cream and coffee — but with much more protein and no Monday guilt.

Ingredients (4 servings):

• 200g CORIAL Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix
• 240ml Milk (for the batter)
• 2 Eggs
• 200g Mascarpone (or cream cheese)
• 150g Natural Greek yoghurt
• 2 tbsp. Honey
• 100ml Cold espresso coffee
• To taste. Cocoa powder for dusting

Preparation:

1. Prepare 8 thin pancakes with the CORIAL mix and milk. Let cool completely.
2. For the cream: beat the mascarpone with Greek yoghurt and honey until you get a smooth and airy mixture.
3. Lightly dip each pancake in cold coffee — a quick pass, don't soak.
4. In individual glasses or a dish, alternate layers: pancake → cream → pancake → cream. Dust with cocoa. Chill for 2 hours before serving.

💡 Caffeine-free version: Replace coffee with coconut milk and a spoon of cocoa. It's just as good and you can serve it to the whole family.

⚠️ Note on nutritional values: Protein values (~39g/100g) refer to the dry CORIAL Protein Pancake mix. The values per final serving vary depending on the added ingredients. Consult the product label for detailed nutritional information at corialfoods.com.
