Ingredients
1 cup All-Purpose flour
1/3 cup of vegan-friendly vanilla protein powder - I used NZ Protein's Hydrolysed Pea Isolate
1/4 tsp table salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp natural sweetener - I used Natvia
1/4 cup of aquafaba (chickpea juice)
1 TBS oil
1/2 cup milk - I used unsweetened oat milk
1/2 cup dairy free yoghurt - I used The Collective Dairy Free Natural Yoghurt
Method
In a small bowl, add aquafaba, baking soda and sweetener. Blend on high with an electric whisk until it reaches soft peaks. Keep to the side.
In a separate bowl, add milk, oil and yoghurt. Mix well, keep to the side.
In another large bowl, add flour, protein powder, baking powder and salt.
Make a well in the middle of the dry mix and then pour in the liquid mixture. Gently mix until it all just comes together - don't over mix.
Add half of the whipped aquafaba to the mix and gently mix - it will foam, this is normal.
Add the last half and gently fold just until the mix comes together.
Over medium heat, pour mixture into the pan using a 1/4 measuring cup - you will need to shape it a bit.
Add your fav toppings and enjoy! My go-to toppings include more yoghurt, PB, stewed fruit and LOTS of sugar-free maple syrup.
Hot tips!
Don't skip step 1 - that is the golden key to making fluffy pancakes.
Use two pans to cook up the mixture faster!
