Pancake’s proteins – do you know their benefits?
Proteins have a important role in cellular metabolism, in addition, they participate in the processes of degradation and synthesis. They act as antibodies and hormones, which give a shape to cells and organisms. Sports nutrition is based on proteins, as protein metabolism during training increases. Since we added protein to our delicious protein pancakes, we can say that they are ideal for athletic endurance. After any sports activity, it is good to provide the body with proteins, which are extremely important for muscle regeneration and building mass. Muscle growth is the result of a combination of exercise and a sufficient amount of protein in the diet. Due to the protein powder, protein pancakes will also ensure easy digestion without bloating. Our protein shake is intended for all athletes and recreationists, vegans and vegetarians, and of course for everyone else who appreciates a healthy lifestyle. You can include our chocolate or vanilla protein powder in your post workout pancake recipe.

£18.59Ingredients for the pancakes:
- 25 g chocolate or vanilla protein shake
- ¾ cup oat flakes
- ¼ cup of gluten-free multi-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. Himalayan salt
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ cup of apple sauce
- 1 tsp agave syrup
- 2 tsp. + 1 tsp. extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or mix 2dcl of water and rice drink almond)
Ingredients for forest fruit topping:
- two handfuls of forest fruits of your choice (you can use frozen)
- water
- juice from half an orange
- 1 tsp. agave syrup
Ingredients for fruit and nut topping:
- extra virgin coconut oil
- agave syrup
- ½ chopped apple
- chopped nuts
Directions
- First of all we choose the topping and prepare all the ingredients. Then we start making pancake batter. First, take a large bowl and mix in the oat flakes and chocolate or vanilla protein shake. Mix with a mixer until the oat flakes and the shake combine into a finely ground flour. Then add gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, Himalayan salt to the bowl and mix all the ingredients with a food processor.
- In another bowl, add the apple sauce (you can buy it or make it at home), unsweetened almond milk, agave syrup and two tablespoons of coconut oil. Mix everything well.
- Combine the contents of both bowls and mix again. Stir gently so that the mixture is smooth without lumps. Let the batter rest until the baking powder creates air bubbles. This will make our pancakes even more fluffy.
- While the batter is resting, heat the pan to a moderate temperature. A pan is hot enough when a drop of water will sizzle on it.
- Put 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil into the pan and swirl it around so it covers the bottom of the pan, thus the pancakes will not stick. Then pour one tablespoon of pancake batter into the pan. If you have a larger pan you can bake few pancakes at the same time, as they are smaller in size. Bake until small bubbles start to form on the pancake. When they start to crack and the edge of the pancake is baked, turn them with a spatula. Then bake them for another 3 minutes. Repeat the process until all the pancakes are baked.
- Serve the pancakes stacked on top of each other and decorate with the chosen topping.
