Vegan High Protein Tofu Pancakes
A healthy stack of pancakes that's delicious, but also high in protein and fibre! A great way to start the day with a balanced and nutritious meal that tastes like a dessert.
Ingredients
- 200g silken tofu
- 100g oats
- 4 tbsp protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 175ml water or milk
- 40g dark chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients (apart from the chocolate chips) to a blender/food processor and blend until you have a smooth batter.
- Add more water/milk if the batter is too thick - 1 tbsp at a time. The consistency should be thick, but still pourable. Fold in the chocolate chips if using any.
- Heat a little bit of oil in a frying pan over a low/medium heat. Once the pan is hot, pour 1-2 tbsp of the batter and allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Flip and continue cooking for another 1 minute until golden brown.
- Sprinkle your favourite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
I like to use a metal (not plastic!) cookie cutter to create perfect round pancakes. Spray your cookie cutter with oil so the batter doesn't stick. Place in the middle of the frying pan, then pour 2 tbsp of the batter in the middle. Cook for 2 minutes on a low/medium heat, then gently remove the cookie cutter (use a but of kitchen paper or oven mitts so you don't burn your fingers!), then flip and continue cooking for 1 minute.
