I was introduced to this gluten free pancake recipe by a friend of mine, and its become a firm favourite. It’s a simple recipe perfect for Saturday or Sunday brunch – I had mine with some dragonfruit, figs and honey, but would also go well with maple syrup and bacon, too.
The vanilla protein powder gives it a bit of flavour which is a nice accompaniment to the oats. If you prefer a smoother texture, whizz the oats in a food processor, or go for oat flour. Personally, I’m a fan of the texture so I left them as is.
I went for the Sun Warrior blend vanilla protein powder from Planet Organic: it’s dairy, soya and gluten free.
For these protein pancakes, you’ll need:
200g gluten free oats
2 eggs
250ml milk (semi-skimmed or full fat)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Butter
Heat the butter in a pan: pour in batter for each pancake. When the mixture bubbles, flip the pancake over – the first side is done. Repeat for the second side. The batter should be enough for four people: I made it for two, and froze the pancakes individually with pieces of parchment paper separating each pancake. This makes it easier to pop frozen pancakes in the toaster: a nice option for a quick weekday breakfast.
I’m always on the lookout for interesting, gluten free breakfast options: any suggestions would be appreciated!
Can I add in some slivered pistachios?
I haven’t tried it but I don’t see why not! Substitute 15g of oats for pistachio I reckon – or dessicated coconut! Let me know how it goes 🙂
Hey, thanks for helping me out to find the exact ratio 🙂
No problem! I hope it goes well! xx
