Vegan Protein Pancakes Without Banana
Easy 5-ingredient protein pancakes. No banana, dairy or eggs needed!
Ingredients
- 60 g Oats
- ½ Teaspoon Baking powder
- 20 g Vegan protein powder (I used PhD plant protein in salted caramel flavour)
- 180 ml Unsweetened soy milk (use sweetened soy milk if your protein powder is unsweetened)
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- Oil for frying
To top:
- Fresh fruit and/or nut butter (or any other toppings you like)
- Agave nectar or maple syrup
Instructions
-
Add the oats to a blender and pulse until it becomes fine like a flour.
-
Add the oat flour to a large bowl along with the baking powder and protein powder. Mix well.
-
Add the soy milk and vanilla extract and mix again to make a lumpy batter.
-
Let the pancake batter sit in the bowl for 10 minutes to thicken.
-
Heat some oil in a pan over medium-high heat. You can test if it's hot enough by placing a small amount of pancake batter into the pan- it should lightly sizzle and hold its shape.
-
Fry the pancakes (you should get around 4). You'll know they are ready to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the outer edge looks firmer.
-
Once fried, place the pancakes onto some kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil.
-
Stack the pancakes and top with your desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.
Recipe Notes
- I do not recommend adding all of the ingredients to a blender to make the batter. Make sure the oats are ground into a flour before adding the liquid.
- If your batter is still runny after 10 minutes, let it sit for a bit longer or add some extra oat flour. If it's too thick, add more soy milk.
- I have only tested this recipe with soy milk. I cannot guarantee it will work with other plant milks.
