4 Ingredient Dairy-Free Protein Pancakes
Description
The recipe combines vegan protein powder with an egg, baking powder for leavening, and almond milk to create a smooth batter free from dairy. Whisking until no lumps remain, the batter immediately goes into a preheated non-stick pan to preserve lightness. Pancakes cook covered for about 6 to 7 minutes until edges show browning, then flipped and cooked a few minutes more for uniform doneness. The modest expansion during cooking means size remains close to portioned amount, making sizing consistent and manageable.
The flavor and texture depend on the protein powder used, which influences both taste and density. These pancakes do not freeze well, so consuming them soon after preparation is recommended. They make a single serving of five small pancakes, suitable as a dairy-free, protein-rich breakfast or snack option.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup vegan protein powder
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until no clumps remain.
- Immediately portion the pancakes into the pan. Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes until the edges start to turn brown.
- Flip and recover to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove and top with your favorites.
Notes
- The choice of vegan protein powder affects the taste and texture; select one matching your preference.
- Eat the pancakes immediately after cooking as they do not freeze well and lose quality if stored.
- Portion pancakes quickly after mixing since batter thickens over time, resulting in denser pancakes.
- Yields five small pancakes, constituting one full serving.
