Vegan Protein Pancakes

These vegan protein pancakes are ready in under 20 minutes, have 24 grams of protein per serving and best of all they're delicious! Make these for breakfast, brunch, dinner, a late-night snack or meal prep for the week!

I love breakfast, like really love breakfast. I would regularly eat it 3 times a day before going vegan. Pancakes are just little cakes that are acceptable to eat first thing in the morning. But these can be enjoyed any time of day. Since they're so easy to make they can be enjoyed as a quick high protein snack or as part of a larger meal.

Why I Made Vegan Protein Pancakes

I have never been a huge pancake guy. I have always loved breakfast (it was the hardest part about going vegan) but was never that into pancakes. I have no idea why, it's basically acceptable cake to eat in the morning, what's not to love!?

Fast forward 20 plus years and I've rediscovered the glory of eating cake in the morning, afternoon, and snack. Although this time it's packed with protein to give it a little extra kick!

How To Make Vegan Protein Pancakes

This vegan protein pancakes recipe is made using vegan vanilla pea protein. We found that pea protein was better suited for this recipe, as opposed to a hemp heart, or seed protein. They don't give the same baking properties unfortunately so you're breakfast cakes, I mean pancakes won't be as fluffy. Still usable but just not as good.

Kitchen Equipment I used for recipe:

• "Naked" Pea, Vegan Protein - A lot of proteins have a lot of additives and fillers, this vegan protein has none of that. It's gluten-free, certified vegan, and "informed-choice" trusted for athletes.
• Square Non-Stick Pancake Skillet - Having the right tools for cooking is half the battle. This square non-stick skillet is perfect for making pancakes.

Instructions for Vegan Protein Pancakes

1. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, being careful not to overmix (some lumps are good). Let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet on med-high with vegan butter. Once the butter is melted and spread on the pan, use a ⅓ cup to scoop and pour the pancake mix into the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until bottom starts to get golden brown, flip and cook another 3 minutes until the edges begin to brown.
3. Serve with vegan butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, coconut whipped cream.

Can you use different flours to make this recipe?

Ues you can use oat flour, gluten-free flour, or any other alternative flour to make this instead of all-purpose flour. Most flours have a 1:1 ratio but be sure to google the conversion ratio before cooking. It's important to note that gluten gives structure and rise in cooked foods so any flour used that is gluten-free won't be as firm or thick.
