PROTEIN PANCAKES
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups of self raising flour
1 1/2 cups of your choice of milk (I used Australia’s own LIKE milk which is pea protein based)
3 tbsp of rice malt syrup
1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
3 1/2 serves of vanilla protein powder (I use the brand Protein Supplies Australia and use either Whey isolate or pea protein as it cooks well and tastes great in the pancakes)
tsp of vanilla essence
a pinch of salt
METHOD:
Sift the flour and protein into a mixing bowel.
Add the salt and wet ingredients (milk, syrup, vanilla essence, extra virgin olive oil).
Whisk to combine the mixture
Pour the mixture onto a hot non stick fry pan- I usually spray the pan with extra virgin olive oil spray
Cook the pancakes on low-medium heat for a few minutes each side or until bubble/ dimples form then flip and repeat
Add your favourite toppings and enjoy! (i personally recommend berries and banana with some sugar free maple syrup or pure Canadian maple syrup)
Makes roughly 5 medium fluffy American style pancakes
- These are extremely filling I usually have 1 or 2 and am satisfied for hours.

These pancakes can be made vegan if you use plant protein (pea protein)
As I mentioned above they are extremely filling due to their high protein content. They also contain lots carbohydrates which is important for not only feeling your body but also important if building muscle is the gaol. This is important so the protein is spared for growth and repair and not used for other things such as energy.
These pancakes are also low in sugar.
