Protein Pancakes
Protein Pancakes
Can you get bored of pancakes?! I am not sure I can. Every Saturday morning for the past two years I have had this for breakfast. Maybe I’ve had it on a few extra days too!
I often vary the toppings. Peanut butter and strawberry is a classic. Caramelised banana and blueberries are another amazing option. Feel free to create your own toppings.
INGREDIENTS
60g protein powder
80g oats blitzed to a powder
15 g ground linseed/flaxseed
1 banana
240 ml water
a small pinch of salt
Makes around 12 pancakes
METHOD
Serves 2
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blitz till smooth. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes, as the flaxseed thickens the batter. You want the batter to be really thick. Add a splash of water if you find it is too thick.
Heat up your oven on it lowest setting with a plate in.
In a large frying pan, heat up 1 tsp coconut oil over a medium/high heat. Add a tablespoon of the batter onto the pan and spread it out a little so it is around 8cm in diameter. I can normally get 3–4 pancakes in on one go.
Cook for 3–4 minutes then flip them. They should be starting to brown nicely. Cook for another 3–4 minutes and then place on the plate in the oven to keep warm while you finish up cooking the rest of the batter.
When all the pancakes are cooked, serve with you preferred toppings.
