Why Breakfast is So Important
I have to say that breakfast really is the most exciting meal of the day for me.
Breakfast is one of those meals that can be easily skipped throughout our busy lives. Eating a well rounded breakfast helps to kick start your metabolism and gives you the energy you need to conquer the day! Why would you want to miss out on that? Plus this recipe takes no time at all!
Gluten Free & Protein Packed
These are perfect for when you are craving something sweet while also wanting to fuel your body with power packed nutrition. These pancakes are a great gluten free alternative to pancakes made with wheat flour. However, if you aren’t going for gluten free and prefer using regular flour, feel free to do so!
Adding vanilla protein powder really helps bump up the protein content and adds flavor as well! However, flavor & protein content will vary depending on which plant based protein powder you use for this recipe. The one I used is the vanilla flavor from Orgain Organic Protein.
Now, if you are a hungry gal (or guy) like myself, you will definitely eat this whole batch of pancakes. Even my husband, who is quite a picky eater with a big appetite, loves these pancakes! These pancakes are suited for the entire family and if you need more pancakes you could simply double or triple the recipe!
How to Make the Vegan Protein Pancakes
