I didn’t eat pancakes all summer then all of a sudden I remembered…it’s been way too long since I had pancakes! Shortly thereafter, these 4-ingredient fluffy vegan protein pancakes were born! You only need a few basic ingredients to make these delicious fluffy pancakes and they can be prepared in a matter of seconds. All you need is flour, protein powder, sweetener and baking powder and you’re ready to go. Load them up with your favourite toppings like peanut butter and berries and dig in.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup organic brown rice protein powder or vegan protein powder of choice
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp pure maple syrup, stevia powder or liquid stevia drops
1 cup water + more as needed
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Add the maple syrup or sweetener of choice, then slowly add the water, mixing until “just mixed.” It should be a little lumpy and quite thick. Add a little extra water if needed.
Cook in a hot non-stick pan until bubbles appear in the centre of each pancake. Flip and cook for a few more minutes.
Serves 2.
NOTES
The original recipe called for 1 1/2 cups of water but as you’ll notice below, people were finding the batter too runny. I reduced it to 1 cup but I think somewhere between 1 and 1 1/2 cups works. Start with 1 cup and as more as needed. It works great with 1 cup but the batter is very thick, however, this will result in an extra fluffy pancake. If you want the batter to stretch a little further and make more pancakes, add a little extra water.
I haven’t tested these with gluten-free flours but some readers have had success. Check the comments section to see what’s worked for people. If you have success with a gluten-free flour blend, let me know in the comment section!
