These blueberry vegan protein pancakes are a delicious and plant-based breakfast that’s as nourishing as it is flavorful, offering an impressive 18 grams of protein per serving to fuel your day. Made with wholesome ingredients, they deliver a satisfying combination of fluffy texture and juicy bursts of blueberry in every bite, creating a delightful contrast that keeps your taste buds engaged. Rich in plant-based protein, these pancakes support muscle recovery and keep you feeling full longer, making them perfect for post-workout refueling or a hearty weekend breakfast. Their slightly sweet, fruity flavor pairs perfectly with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt. For best results, gently fold the blueberries into the batter to prevent them from sinking, and cook on a preheated, lightly greased skillet until golden brown on both sides. These pancakes are naturally gluten-free if you use gluten-free oats or flour, and vegan substitutes like flax eggs work seamlessly for a plant-based diet. They’re ideal for meal prep—just store in the fridge and reheat quickly for a nutritious, protein-packed start to your day anytime.

INSTRUCTIONS
In a blender, combine the vegan protein powder, rolled oats, mashed banana, almond milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Gently fold the blueberries into the pancake batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the pancakes warm with a dollop of coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My pancakes are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
