Protein Pancakes
The stack of pancakes I’m going to make today will come out to 70 grams of protein. And I have a secret ingredient that makes these tasty, incredible, and plant based! Now I’m not going to eat all 70 grams, it’s broken down into probably two and a half servings. And I’m going to top the pancakes with a fun little addition which adds an extra 8 grams of protein. So my lunch is sitting at about 43 grams of protein. If you like this recipe be sure to check out this one too! and this one!
Dry and Wet Ingredients
The first thing I do is put together our dry ingredients. I’m going to be using three quarters cup of all purpose flour, a scoop of protein powder, one teaspoon of baking powder, half teaspoon cinnamon, a tablespoon of hemp seeds, and mix that together! For our wet ingredients, flax seeds are going to be what binds this together. So in a bowl I add one tablespoon of flax seeds to two and a half tablespoons of water. Mix that together and the flax will soak up the water after it sits for a few minutes.
Secret Ingredient
For the next step we need a high powered blender. The secret of this recipe is tempeh. I’m going to drop a whole bar or roughly two and a half servings or eight ounces of tempeh into the blender as well as a teaspoon of lemon juice and three cups of water. And blend! After a minute or two of blending this comes out thick and creamy. Then I add one and a half cups of the tempeh milk to a cup along with the flax mixture, about half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a touch more lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Hot Cakes
Before I mix these together I’m going to get a pan on the stove. Heat it up, add a bit of oil. While that is heating up I combine my mixtures. Once it is all mixed start adding pancakes to the pan! I am going to make a stack to save some for later because you can freeze them and then re-toast them when you want them! I’m also going to make an extra topping that I love. It is going to be a maple syrup topping with one serving of pb fit and three tablespoons of maple syrup! And that is it! Mix it up.
Taste Test
These pancakes cook similar to regular pancakes. They’ll bubble through when they are ready to flip. Cook them until they are golden brown. You should end up with about nine or ten pancakes. They came out amazing. They are a little more dense than a regular pancake. But the taste is out of this world. You could add berries and fruit to them if you’d like. This stack is 460 calories, 35 grams of protein, 16 grams of fat, 49 grams of carbs. You should totally give this protein pancake recipe a try! Watch the full video here!
