Fluffy Vegan Protein Pancakes (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
02 - 1/4 cup vegan protein powder of choice (28 g)
03 - 1 tbsp baking powder
04 - 1/2 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
05 - 2 tbsp maple syrup
06 - 1 cup water, plus more as needed

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Mix the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl until well combined, breaking up any clumps to fully incorporate the ingredients.
02 - Add the maple syrup, then slowly mix in the water until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, thick, but still pourable. Adjust with additional water if necessary.
03 - Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes while you heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
04 - Spray the pan lightly with cooking spray or use a non-stick surface. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan per pancake. Cook until bubbles form and the edges appear dry and firm, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
05 - Serve immediately with your favorite pancake toppings. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer for reheating later.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Measure ingredients with a kitchen scale for best results.
02 - Adjust the water amount based on the protein powder used; thicker batter yields fluffier pancakes.
03 - Sweeten with alternative options like agave, coconut sugar, or stevia for a sugar-free version.
04 - Reduce salt to 1/4 tsp if using table salt or for lower sodium content.
