Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 scoop vegan protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of oat flour, 1 scoop of vegan protein powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vegan protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: pour in the almond milk, add the maple syrup, and the vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all the liquids are well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or a whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate and will help create fluffier pancakes.
- While the batter is resting, preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or nut butter. Enjoy your fluffy vegan protein pancakes!
Tips
- Batter Consistency is Key: Let your batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld and the baking powder to activate. This creates those irresistibly fluffy pancakes.
- Temperature Control: Use medium heat to ensure even cooking. Too hot, and you'll burn the outside; too cool, and they'll be soggy.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold wet and dry ingredients. A few small lumps are your friend - they help create a lighter texture.
- Test Your First Pancake: The initial pancake is always a test. Adjust heat and batter amount as needed.
- Keep Pancakes Warm: Use a low oven (around 200°F) to keep pancakes warm while cooking the entire batch.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with fresh berries, nut butters, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup to make these pancakes uniquely yours.
