Notes
Tips for Making Vegan Protein Pancakes
- Nutrition facts calculated without maple syrup.
- When using almond flour the batter of the pancakes is much more delicate. As a result, it can be a bit trickier to flip the pancakes. Cook 1-2 pancakes in a pan at a time so that you have enough room to gently lift and flip the pancake without it falling apart.
- If you don't have oat flour, use your food processor to grind your rolled oats into flour.
- If you buy oat flour and have gluten sensitivity be sure that your oats are certified gluten-free.
- You need more baking powder than you do when making pancakes with regular flour because there is no gluten. This will help the pancakes rise and make them fluffy.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave.
