Super Healthy Protein Pancakes
These delicious yet super healthy pancakes are my favourite. They are also my husband and little boys favourite also! They are filling, tasty and you can even add in slightly different ingredients depending on what you have in your cupboard!
Servings: 4 people
Equipment
- Blender (e.g. Nutribullet, Magimix or hand blender)
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free jumbo oats
- 1.5 bananas medium
- 4 free-range organic eggs
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1 pinch sea / rock salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp hemp powder
- 2 tbsp nuts or 1 tbsp nut butter
- 1-2 tbsp nut milk depending on the consistency you like
- 1 tbsp coconut oil cold-pressed organic
Instructions
- Whizz up all the ingredients in a blender or food processor - I use my nutribullet for this as so quick and little washing up.
- Can be stored overnight - though with the baking powder it will start to bubble and ferment (good thing).
- Use coconut oil to make these - they are like American pancakes, so best to make them small not large like French pancakes.
- Serve with yoghurt (full fat organic dairy or coconut), fresh fruit (e.g. banana, pomegranate, blueberries, pineapple etc) / warmed frozen berries, a little drizzle of maple syrup for sheer pleasure! You could add a sprinkle of seeds such as hemp seeds, sunflower, or pumpkin. You could even add some bacon - now this is delicious!
Adaptations
- You can swap out the oats for overnight soaked buckwheat groats - either fully or half and half with the oats.
- You can also freeze the pancakes when made - lay them in layers of parchment paper. They defrost in about 5 minutes.
- Try adding in blueberries when cooking.
- You can try using 1 tbsp nuts and 1 tbsp of seeds (one type or mixed) such as sunflowers, pumpkin, chia etc.
- You can swap out the hemp powder for other nutritional powders. I love to use 1 tbsp hemp and 1 tbsp of either cacao powder or mushroom powder.
