Giant Fluffy Protein Pancake

Protein Pancake // The Pancake Princess

How was your Valentine’s Day? My roommate and I threw our third annual Galentine’s party–i.e. waffle bar + fondue extravaganza with a white elephant gift exchange (I got and am so excited to read this) and then I spent my actual V-day holed up in my room working on a bunch of finals projects and cleaning the heck out of my room. It was actually relaxing a day of much-needed recharging and was pretty great. Oh, and then I read this and spent 20 minutes reading all the cute stories people left in the comments and just *heartsplosion*

Protein Pancake // The Pancake Princess

Protein Pancake // The Pancake PrincessIn other news, it turns out I am NOT allergic to dairy! I got tested over winter break and though we don’t know the real reason why I kept getting rashes on my fingers after eating dairy, we suspect that it is due to eczema flareups on my fingers that is inflamed by eating dairy. Anyway, back when I thought I was allergic to dairy, I tried out this Sunwarrior protein powder and kind of loved it.

Protein Pancake // The Pancake Princess

It’s soy-free, raw, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan, but the vanilla flavor is totally delicious (I’d never guess it wasn’t your standard whey-based powder) and it’s not chalky at all. I only pretty much use protein powder in a few things: smoothies and occasionally in pancakes or my all-time favorite single-serving cinnamon roll. Although protein powder can occasionally turn pancakes dry and sad, this pancake is totally fluffy and just moist enough (particularly if you smother it in additional syrup, nut butter, banana, chopped chocolate and a power seed mixture).

The ingredient list may look longish, but the recipe is really easy to throw together and most ingredients are just a dash of this and that, which you can leave out as needed. If you make try it out, tag me on instagram and tell me how you like it!

This pancake was inspired by Kylie’s cookie dough pancake!

    Phew, so glad to hear you’re not allergic to dairy but sad to hear about the eczema flare ups. My little sister has dealt with eczema all her life and it’s not fun. The silver lining is your discovery of this protein powder and now we all benefit with this amazing pancake recipe. Damn, these photos are screen-licking good. It sounded like you had a fabulous Galentine’s Day, which was well-deserved, my friend!

    So glad to hear you’re not allergic to dairy! Still, it’s frustrating to not know what is causing your symptoms, so I hope you figure that out. This pancake looks great! I bought a giant bag of protein powder early in my pregnancy to try and boost my protein content, and I’ve hardly put a dent in it. Turns out I just really don’t like protein powder, even in smoothies. But I haven’t tried it in pancakes or other baked goods yet, and I hate throwing things out, so I’ll have to give these a try! And goodness knows I have time for a leisurely breakfast now that I’m on maternity leave and just waiting for the baby to arrive. Thanks for the recipe!
