One of my favorite Strong Girls Sophie Wix (read her Strong Girl Spotlight here!) has been spending some time experimenting in the kitchen and recently perfected a new Strong Girl Vegan Protein Pancake Recipe! They look just as delicious as they taste! They are vegan, gluten-free, no sugar added, and low FODMAP, and, get this… they have 25g of protein! Honestly, what’s not to love?! Next time you whip up pancakes try this new recipe and let us know what you think!
You can read her original post here and spend some serious time on her blog, BonAppetitLife, mouthwatering over all of her kitchen creations!
Ingredients (makes 8 small pancakes):
- 1/2 c rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 c pecans
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 (25g) Vega Sport Plant-Based Protein Powder (Chocolate flavor)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 c unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Top with:
- 1 banana, sliced and caramelized
- Coconut flakes
- Semisweet chocolate chips
- Pecans
- Maple syrup
SIMPLE STEPS:
1. Combine dry ingredients oats, pecans, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Blitz in a blender to combine and chop oats up.
2. Mix bananas, coconut milk, and vanilla by mashing up with a fork or blending in a separate bowl.
3. Combine dry and wet ingredients in the blender, blitz for 30 seconds. Allow batter to set so the oats can absorb bananas, about 5 mins.
4. Heat 1 tsp coconut oil on medium heat in a non-stick pan, then using 1 tbsp at a time, add pancake mix to the pan. 1 pancake is 1 tbsp!
5. Cook on medium/medium-low heat until sides are cooked and bubbles rise to the top. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top and flip. Cook through on the other side.
PROTIP: add a small amount of coconut oil, heat 1 tbsp batter, then tip pan so the coconut oil just crisps the sides of the cakes.
6. SERVE!:) Layer with strawberries in between, top with blueberries, coco flakes, chocolate chips, and crushed pecans…All you might need is just 1 tbsp of MAPLE SYRUP!
Enjoy!!
