Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup plant-based protein powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh berries
Instructions
In a blender, add rolled oats, plant-based protein powder, baking powder, ground flaxseeds, and salt. Blend until the oats are ground into a fine flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to curdle slightly, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture in the blender. Blend until smooth and well combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add coconut oil to lightly coat the surface.
Once the skillet is hot, pour about a 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the top and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and additional maple syrup if desired.
