Vegan Gingerbread Protein Pancakes



The Ingredients:
  • ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, coconut, rice etc.)
  • 2 Tbsp blackstrap molasses
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (we used Bob’s Red Mill)
  • One scoop Vega Sport Performance Protein, Vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • Optional toppings: banana slices, chopped nuts, maple or agave syrup
The How: 

  1. Whisk together non-dairy milk, apple sauce, and molasses. Set aside
  2. In a separate bowl, mix remaining dry ingredients
  3. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, mix until just combined. Add more non-dairy milk if batter appears too thick
  4. Melt coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat, or use a griddle
  5. Add a quarter cup of the batter into the pan. Flip once bubbles have formed and popped (approximately 2 minutes per side)
  6. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or syrup and enjoy!
