About this recipe

Pancakes that make you feel as good as they taste. These golden-brown, fluffy stacks use Just One protein powder for a nutritional boost without sacrificing that perfect pancake texture. Other protein pancakes can be dense or rubbery, but Just One will make your favorite recipes even better. Just One’s clean mung bean protein gives you the fluffy pancakes you crave, while each serving delivers complete plant-based protein to fuel your morning.

Banana gives these pancakes just a touch of natural sweetness, allowing you to customize the final flavor with your preferred amount of maple syrup or other toppings. Try adding blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter, and topping this nutritious breakfast with your favorite fruits, nut butter or a pat of vegan butter.

Cook the pancakes

pancakes

Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Cook the pancakes, using about a scant ⅓ cup of batter per pancake. Cook the first side for about 2 minutes, until the edges are set and bubbles form in the centers. Flip and cook for 1 to 1 ½ more minutes. Continue with the rest of the batter, lightly greasing the skillet between each pancake. If your batter seems too thin, add more oat flour one tablespoon at a time.

Cooking the pancakes low and slow will produce the best results.
