Notes
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Peanut flour - Peanut butter powder is very similar and would work well here. Don't swap other nut flours like almond flour, because they are made differently and are not interchangeable in recipes.
- Protein powder - Only pea protein blends work well in this recipe. Whey protein is not recommended.
Recipe Variations:
Chocolate chip protein pancakes - Mix in sugar free dark chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
Peanut butter banana protein pancakes - Add chunks of ripe bananas to the batter and on top when serving.
Peanut butter and jelly protein pancakes - Add fresh raspberries (or other berries) to the pancake batter and on top when serving.
Flavor boost - Add ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract or a low alcohol baking vanilla for a boost in flavor.
Storage Information:
- Refrigeration - Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
- Freezing - Place between layers of parchment paper in a freezer bag.
- Reheating - Warm in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
