1scoopvegan protein powder(I used Happy Way vegan vanilla protein)
1 and 1/2tspbaking powder
1pinchsalt
1largeoverripe banana
3/4cupmilk of choice- I recommend soy milk or almond milk
extra virgin olive oil for cooking the pancakes
Optional "hot cross bun" flavour additions
1/2tspcinnamon
1pinchallspice
1/3cupsultanas*soaked in hot water for 10 minutes, then drained
Instructions
Place all of the pancake ingredients (except for the olive oil for cooking) into a blender or food processor and combine until a thick and smooth batter forms. If you are making the hot cross bun version, just do not add the sultanas! Add them after the batter is blended.
The batter should have the consistency of a very thick creamy yoghurt. If it's too thick add a little milk and blend again.
Heat a nonstick frypan up to a low-to-moderate heat. Drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the pan. Add heaped spoonfuls to the pan and spread to form small pancakes. Cook the pancakes for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. If the pancakes are burning, turn down the heat.
Serve the pancakes hot with your favourite toppings! Any extras can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
Notes
*Nutrition Facts have been calculated for the basic protein pancakes recipe (not with the hot cross bun additions).*psst, you can also add chocolate chips to the batter!
