When you’re preparing for a busy day of work, exercise and family life ahead, then having a stack of vegan protein pancakes for breakfast is one of the best ways to start your day.
But many people think that this is too much effort to prepare the pancake batter.The good news is that unlike most other recipes, this one is simple, meaning you can get breakfast sorted in just about 20 minutes. You can save even more time in the mornings if you go through the easy steps to prepare your vegan protein pancakes the night before.
First, make sure you have all the ingredients.

Prepare Your Workspace
Before you just blindly start getting stuff out and throwing them in a mixing bowl, take a moment to get your equipment together.First of all, get your food processor or blender out and make sure it’s properly cleaned. You don’t want bits of that green smoothie you made the day before suddenly making an appearance in your pancakes (yes, that did happen to me).You’ll also need a non-stick frying pan. I picked one up a few months ago at my local Whole Foods store, and it certainly makes it easier and less messy.
If you make these more regularly, you can even buy pancake frying pans that are molded to the perfect size.
Get The Measurements Right
Before you start mixing everything, make sure you have all the measurements right and lined up.The list below will make about 8 vegan protein pancakes, but you can easily adjust it to make more or less. However, once you’ve tasted one, you’re not likely going to want a small batch.

Cooking Instructions
OK, so you have your equipment, and the ingredients are all measured out and ready to go. It’s time to get a step closer to those delicious vegan protein pancakes.Let’s dive right in:
- 1Add the oats, banana, almond milk, and protein powder in a blender or food mixer. Slowly increase the speed until the pancake batter is a smooth consistency.
- 2Add the baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract and blend for another 20 to 30 seconds at medium speed.
- 3If you want to create a more potent protein boost, then you can add another few spoons of protein powder.
- 4Heat up a frying pan to medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once the pan is nice and hot, pour a small amount of batter.
- 5When you see little bubbles appear at the top of the pancake, it’s time to turn them around. Flip them if you’re brave enough, otherwise, just use a spatula.
- 6Both sides should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
- 7Repeat the above instructions until the remaining batter is gone.
You’re now ready to enjoy breakfast, and don’t worry if you don’t eat them all in one sitting. Just cover them and keep them in the fridge until tomorrow.
Serving Ideas
If you’re like me, then over time, you might get a bit bored with the same vegan protein pancakes. The easiest way to deal with that is to change around some ingredients and toppings from the original recipes.
