Equipment
Ingredients
Wet ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup soy milk or other kinds of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or another liquid sweetener*
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
Dry ingredients
- 1 cup spelt flour or whole wheat/all purpose/gluten-free blend
- ½ cup vanilla plant protein powder or whey protein (see notes)*
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
- Combine all wet ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.1 ¼ cup soy milk, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- Gently fold in wet ingredients. Batter will be thick but pourable; add more flour or water if needed.1 cup spelt flour, ½ cup vanilla plant protein powder, 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Lightly grease a non-stick pan and heat over medium-high.
- Once the pan is heated, scoop around ¼-⅓ cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 minutes or until the edges are dry and bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip them over using a silicon spatula, and cook for another minute.
- Serve protein pancakes with toppings of choice, and enjoy!
Notes
*Applesauce - Gives pancakes moisture and some sweetness. It can be substituted with soy or Greek yogurt.
**Protein powder - Any flavor other than vanilla would work. If using whey protein powder, I would recommend reducing the amount of milk used as they are generally less absorbent than plant-based ones.
Helpful tips
- Batter consistency – Thicker batter yields fluffier pancakes, but it should still be runny enough to spread.
- Keeping pancakes warm – Place cooked pancakes in an oven set to the lowest temperature as you finish cooking the rest.
- Storing leftovers - Leftover protein pancakes can be refrigerated for 3-4 days in an airtight container or frozen for 3 months.
