Equipment

Ingredients

2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
6 tablespoons water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups plant-based milk
¼ cup Naked Pea vanilla protein powder
6 tablespoons neutral oil plus more for greasing

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with water and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until it thickens.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and protein powder until smooth and clump-free. Blending can speed up the process. Add the oil and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter rest while the pan heats.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
Using a ⅓ cup measure, scoop the batter onto the hot pan. Cook for about 40 seconds, then check one pancake for doneness. If golden brown, flip the rest. Another sign they’re ready to flip is when the edges look dry and bubbles appear on the surface. Repeat until all the batter is used.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a cooling rack and serve immediately.
To store, allow the pancakes to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container and freeze for later use.

Notes

Adjust as needed. If the batter becomes too thick because of the protein powder, you can add more plant-based milk to loosen the consistency.

Use medium heat and a non-stick pan or griddle. If the pan is too hot, the pancakes may become overcooked on the outside while leaving the insides raw and mushy. Using a non-stick pan will help keep the pancakes intact.

Use a flat, wide pan. This will ensure there is enough space for them to expand and for you to flip them easily.
