Makes approximately 12 pancakes
Ingredients
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 serving Koia Vanilla Protein Powder
• 4 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 2 large eggs OR 2 flax eggs*
• 1 cup milk of choice
• ¼ cup water, plus more as needed
• ¼ cup melted butter OR melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
For flax eggs: Combine 2 tbsp ground flaxseed with 5 tbsp water and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
How to Make Them
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Koia Vanilla Protein Powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, eggs or flax eggs, milk, water, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If the batter feels too thick, add a little more water until you reach your desired pancake consistency.
Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Scoop the batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Stack them high, add your favorite toppings, and dig in.
Hot tip: Make an extra batch and freeze the leftovers for an easy weekday breakfast. Just reheat and you’ve got fluffy protein pancakes without starting from scratch.
Love your protein, pancake edition. 💙🥞
