However, but as a vegan who is highly active, I could never use enough protein. So I put a little twist on the recipe and opted out for the ultimate protein-pancake experience!
(Disclaimer: as a result of the protein powder combining with the soymilk, they are a little moist.)
Ingredient list:
// 1 cup of quinoa
// 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
// 1 teaspoon baking powder
// a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon (for flavor, optional)
// 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
// 1 teaspoon of oil (I used grapeseed oil)
// 3/4 cup of organic soymilk (I use Silk)
// 1 scoop of the plant-based protein powder of your choice.
Makes about 3 large pancakes with a total of 28 grams of protein
First combine flour, baking powder, and protein powder-- mix it thoroughly. Then add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, quinoa and mix together evenly. Then add in the oil of your choice, and again, mix evenly.
Then add in the soy milk accordingly to achieve proper pancake batter thickness!
The originally recipe calls for a cast iron pan, so I dug ours out! I used a little grapeseed oil to grease the pan (because our is not non-stick quite yet.) Pouring it out of the bowl, I set the burner on a lower heat. I let them cook for a minute or so and then flip them. I gave the pancakes a couple of jabs with the spatula to release air.
Then add whatever topping of your please: maple syrup, fruit, powdered sugar, etc.
Then BAM, vegan quinoa protein pancakes!
