Homemade Protein Pancake

Healthy pancakes for breakfast? Yes, please!
​
Making your own mix at home can save you $$$ plus you can feel good about the ingredients.

TIP: You can use any protein powder you want in this mix, but brown rice powder will have a less earthy/”health-food” taste.

​PROTEIN PANCAKE MIX INGREDIENTS

• 2½ cups (200 grams) rolled oats
• ½ cup (125 grams) plain or vanilla brown rice protein powder
• ¼ cup (50 grams) coconut sugar
• 2 tbsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp sea salt

TO MAKE THE MIX

• Place the rolled oats in a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse until finely ground.
• Place all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well before transferring to a mason jar or other airtight container to store until ready to use!

TO MAKE THE pancakes (1 serving)

• Pour ¾ cup (about 100 grams) of the mix into a mixing bowl and add ¼ cup (60 ml) of liquid (water, milk, etc.). Stir well until it reaches pancake batter consistency.
• You might need to add a little more liquid depending on your protein powder. Using a tablespoon at a time, add just enough to create a fairly thick batter.
• Stir in your mix-ins (berries, nuts, etc.).
• Over medium heat, heat a frying pan that’s been coated with oil or nonstick spray. When it’s hot, add the batter to form your desired size of pancake (silver dollar or one big one!).
• Cover the pan and cook for a couple minutes, keeping a close eye on it. When the edges start to turn brown, flip it over to cook on the other side.
• Place pancake(s) on a plate and top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
