Vegan Protein Pancakes

These pancakes provide fuel for the brain and muscles. These fluffy vegan protein pancakes are a good choice a few hours before a workout or shortly after one.

Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source of energy so it’s a good idea to eat the majority of your carbs around the most active part of your day to make the most of them. You want the carbohydrates you eat to either be used an an immediate source of energy or used to restore glycogen levels rather than be stored as fat.

Vanilla Vegan Protein Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup vanilla vegan protein powder @arbonne

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey

• 1 cup water + more as needed

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

2. 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.

3. Cook in a hot non-stick pan until bubbles appear in the centre of each pancake. Flip and cook for a few more minutes.

4. Serves 2.

Pancake toppings are the best part, aren’t they!? Here are some of my favourites.

• peanut butter, almond butter, tahini or sunflower seed butter

• sliced banana

• fresh blueberries, strawberries or cherries

• homemade raw chocolate sauce made from maple syrup, coconut oil and cacao powder

• cacao nibs or dairy-free chocolate chips

• pure maple syrup or honey

Enjoy your breakfast !
