This is the standard pancake base recipe I have been using for a while now. It’s really easy and super adaptable, so give it a try next time you feel like something a little sweet for breakfast or make yourself a healthy, high protein dessert.

This recipe for my easy protein pancakes is dairy free as it is made with a vegan protein powder and dairy free milk such as almond milk.

Flipping Pancakes

I will admit, there is a bit of an art to flipping pancakes and some days I feel like Leonardi da Vinci and other days I feel like a two year old trying to finger paint ie. my pancakes flop over and turn into a jumbled mess. If you cannot be bothered with the extra time, patience and skill required to make and flip pancakes to create a beautiful stack, don’t worry! Simply pour all of the batter in to the frypan at once, allow it to cook for three to four minutes and use a spatula to test if the edges are ready to lift and then flip all at once. The result, one gorgeous giant protein pancake (pictured below).

I love using oat flour in this recipe, it is definitely my favourite however I used to use almond meal and that also turned out great! I find the oat flour gives a better texture and they taste like REAL pancakes!

Now when it comes to protein powders I cannot stress enough, if your protein powder does not taste good, then no matter what you do with your recipes, they will not taste good. My suggestion is throw it out and start again (I know it’s hard to think of the wasted dollars but there is really no salvaging a bad protein powder).

You can choose to top the pancakes however you like, my favourite combination is maple syrup with a drizzle of almond butter and crushed raspberries or homemade raspberry jam. You can find the recipe for my refined sugar free homemade raspberry jam here.

Ingredients for Easy Protein Pancakes

Almond flour or oat flour. Oat flour gives the best texture in this recipe but if you want to keep things low carb/keto then almond flour/almond meal works well also.
Vegan vanilla protein powder
Stevia
Baking powder
Salt
Egg
Milk of your choice (I usually use almond milk but regular full cream or skim milk will work just fine)

How to Make Easy Protein Pancakes

Combine almond flour, protein powder, stevia, salt and baking powder in a small mixing bowl.
Add egg and almond milk, whisk until smooth and set aside to thicken.
Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and spray with coconut oil or grease with butter.
Pour a small amount of the pancake mixture into the pan to create a circle shape, repeat until there is no more room left in the frying pan.
Cook pancakes for two minutes either side, or until cooked through. Repeat the previous step until all there is no more pancake batter left.
Transfer to a plate and serve the easy protein pancakes with toppings of your choice.
