Today it's Sunday and sometimes I like to make a plate of these super-loaded #glutenfree, #dairyfree protein pancakes. The wholefood recipe is based on only wholefood ingredients, and is a super quick to make. It usually yields several pancakes (I only ever have one per serving) to enjoy later in the week.
These wholefood pancakes are a great wholefood alternative to those sugary, overly processed store-bought mixes and perfect if you are celiac like myself. The recipe is fully gluten-free, dairy-free and relies on mashed banana, egg substitute and protein powder instead of flour to make a delicious, wholefood-based batter.
Vegan Gluten-free Protein Pancake Recipe
Ingredients
1 ripe banana, smashed
2 tsp maca root powder
1/4 cup fat-free egg substitute, or 2 eggs, free range organic
2 tbsp chia seeds
4 scoops vegan protein powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp plantbased milk
Add all the ingredients to a blender to combine. In a hot skillet, pour a small portion of the batter into the pan. I make my pancakes the size of my fist. Its an easy portion measurement that even the kids can master. Next, simply cook the batter until it bubbles as regular pancakes.
I usually limit my serving size to one pancake because I absolutely love overloading them with healthy, wholefood toppings. Depending on how you choose to top yours, limit yourself to 1-2 pancakes as a serving portion.

Batch Cook Recipe
This wholefood breakfast recipe is pretty fast to make, and the pancakes will keep for 3-4 days in a sealed container or under plastic wrap. You could double the batter ingredients and do up a big batch for the family to heat and serve during the coming week.
Healthy Pancake Topping Ideas
One of my favourite toppings of the moment is a little drizzle of organic maple syrup and raw peanut butter. OMG it is so good and tasted like salty caramel on top! I also like to sprinkle high-fibre chia seeds, crushed walnuts and toasted coconut flakes to this for a little crunch. You simply just have to try it!
Other toppings that are wholefood-based and super tasty are:
fresh blackberries, almond flakes and 1 spoonful of coconut whip cream
fresh berries, a spoonful of Greek yoghurt, and drizzle of chia seed jam
fresh raspberries, homemade sugar-free Nutella and toasted coconut flakes
blueberry compote, a spoonful of coconut whip cream and chia seeds
homemade apple butter and dusting of ground cinnamon
Don't be shy to experiment with different toppings to make your pancakes truly spectacular.
