Servings: 4
Ingredients
Base Recipe
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Garden of Life Vanilla Or any kind of plant-based protein powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 large eggs whisked
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup unsweetened plain almond milk
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Flavors Options
Banana + PB2 (adds 3g protein)
- ¼ cup PB2
- 2 banana sliced
Blueberry
- 1 cup frozen blueberries thawed
Oat Choc Chip
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Granola Yogurt
- 1 cup granola any kind
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt use as a topping after making the pancakes
Instructions
- Add the flour, protein powder, and baking powder to a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt and stir to combine. Add ¼ cups of almond milk at a time. The pancake batter should be thick and lumpy; adding too much almond milk may make the batter too thin.
- Add the coconut oil and gently stir. Be sure not to over-mix.
- Add any flavor mix-ins that you would like.
- Heat a large, flat frying pan over medium/low heat. Wipe with coconut oil.
- Using a ¼ cup scoop, scoop batter into the pan and gently pat into a circle. When bubbles begin to form, flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and repeat until all the pancakes are cooked.
- Top with butter, nut butter, or maple syrup.
Notes
- What protein powder is used is very important. We tested this recipe with Garden of Life plant-based protein and Tera’s Whey. We liked the consistency and flavor of Garden of Life more, but Tera’s Whey worked too. We recommend adding more maple syrup if you use a less sweet protein powder.
- If the batter is too thin, add more flour or protein powder to thicken the batter.
- Nutrition information includes base recipe, not any mix-in options.
