Fluffy Protein Pancakes
Ingredients
2 scoops protein powder (plant-based, soy-free, unsweetened)
2 chia-flax eggs
½ cup pumpkin
¼ cup unsweetened vanilla coconut milk, carrageenan free*
1-2 tsp. vanilla
1-2 tsp. cinnamon, optional
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until a batter forms. If batter is too thick, add more coconut milk. (For fluffier pancakes, blend ingredients.)
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt coconut oil and coat skillet. Pour or scoop desired amount of batter into pan. Once the edges begin to bubble, flip pancake with spatula.
- Serve pancakes topped with favorite fruit and nut butter, or drizzled with coconut oil.
