Easy Protein Pancakes
These healthy protein pancakes come together in under 20 minutes and make a wholesome, high protein breakfast! Today I am sharing a vegan banana protein pancake recipe made with oat flour, and a paleo protein pancake recipe. They are both gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar free and so delicious!
Ingredients
Paleo protein pancakes
- 1/2 cup mashed banana or canned pumpkin puree
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice (use a flavor you love)
- 2 small eggs OR 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
- 2-4 tbsp milk of choice, as needed
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract & pinch of sea salt (optional)
Vegan protein pancakes
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup protein powder of choice (use a flavor you love!)
- 1/2 cup super ripe, mashed banana
- 1/2-3/4 cup milk of choice
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or avocado oil, butter, etc.
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract & pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Paleo pancakes
- Whisk all of the ingredients, besides the milk, together in a medium bowl until no lumps remain. Then stir in the milk, adding another tbsp if needed until you reach a good thick-ish pancake batter.
- Heat the pan over low-medium heat and grease it well (these pancakes do need to be cooked at a lower temp for longer). Pour a little batter into the pan, smoothing it out flat. Let them cook 2-3 minutes, then flip, cooking another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve with maple syrup, drizzle of honey, fresh fruit, and/or yogurt!
Vegan pancakes
- In a blender, combine the banana, milk, coconut oil, & vanilla, blending until smooth. Pour the batter into a bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients. If your mix is overly thick, add a splash extra milk.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and grease well. When hot, reduce the heat to low. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter onto the pan, allowing it cook 1-2 minutes before flipping. Let cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Serve with maple syrup, drizzle of honey, fresh fruit, and/or yogurt!
