These Vanilla Protein Powder Pancakes are made with whey protein powder. Can be made vegan, these pancakes are super fluffy and easy to make.
Remember that time I teased you with this recipe on Instagram and promised the recipe that same week?
Yeah, that was two months ago. The fact is, I am still trying to catch up on writing down my posts, editing photos and all that other fun stuff, while at the same time update my website in this new format.
Yeah, I know. Boring stuff. I swear, this will be the last time I will talk about it. Because all I want to talk about right now are these pancakes.
Ever since I posted that picture on Instagram, I have been making these pancakes almost on a regular basis. I actually just finished a plate of these pancakes this morning. My reward after my 6:30 AM gym session.
All the while when I was at the gym, I was thinking about these pancakes. I would like to say they made me work harder, but who knows.
Can you believe how fluffy these pancakes are without any eggs? Whenever I think of eggless pancakes, I think of a flat, almost slimy texture pancake. I think that was what my first experience making eggless pancakes was like, and I have avoided it ever since. Until now!
These can actually be made vegan if you switch the protein powder to a vegan type (my vegan friends tell me this one is good, but I have yet to try it).
These vanilla protein powder pancakes also freeze very well. Just allow to cool on wire racks, put them in a freezer bag and place in your freezer. So when you are on the run, but also want some pancakes for breakfast, all you need to do is pop them in your toaster and boom! Instant pancakes. And homemade too!
And for the final touch: toppings! Top these pancakes with your favourite topping. Since it’s summer, I have been topping them with both fresh and frozen berries and some maple syrup drizzled on top. But these pancakes are pretty classic, so any topping would work, from fruit to chocolate.
Just curious, what is your favourite topping? I am always looking for some unique suggestions.

Can these be frozen ?
Yes! They freeze really well.
