A delicious plant based protein pancake recipe, perfect for breakfast or dessert! The vanilla protein powder makes these taste like vanilla cake! We love these topped with berries and butter, but add honey, syrup, or whipped cream to make them your perfect breakfast.

Ingredients

1 banana ripe
1 cup oats gluten free, if necessary
3/4 cup almond milk unsweetened, or other plant based milk of choice
1 scoop No Cow Vanilla Protein Powder
2 tablespoons flax seeds
2 tablespoons hemp seeds

Instructions

Add the milk, oats, hemp seeds, flax seeds, banana, and protein powder to a blender. Blend until the oats are broken down into a slightly gritty textured batter (the oats and seeds will remain some texture).
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grease the skillet with coconut or avocado oil. Pour pancake batter into large pancakes. Once you’ve poured the first pancake, adjust the thickness of the batter by thinning out with more almond milk, if needed.
Allow to cook until bubbles form on the tops. These take longer than standard pancakes with eggs, about 7 minutes per side.
Flip, and continue to cook another 5-7 minutes, until golden brown.
Eat these plain, or top with your favorite pancake toppings!

Notes

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER PANCAKES

Once the pancakes have fully cooled, store leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Reheat pancakes in a skillet until hot throughout. You can also place pancakes on a baking sheet and reheat in the oven (this is a good method if reheating enough for multiple people!).

VEGAN PROTEIN PANCAKES

These pancakes are vegan as written. Be sure to use plant based toppings, like coconut oil or a plant-based butter spread!

CAN I USE WHEY PROTEIN?

Yes, you can substitute your favorite whey protein for the plant-based protein powder used in this recipe. Either use a vanilla whey protein, or use a plain protein powder with some vanilla extract. The banana will keep these sweet so I wouldn’t add extra sweetener!
