Tips For Making Perfect American-Style Pancakes
Keep Checking your pancakes when they start to bubble.
Some people have gas stoves and some people have electric stoves. When the pancakes are flippable and bubbling, keep checking the other side to see whether it has turned golden brown. Cooking times vary.
Don't over mix the batter.
For the fluffiest pancakes, simply fold the pancake batter.
Topping Ideas For Thick Pancakes
- Chopped nuts
- Fresh berries
- Dairy free yogurt
- Melted peanut butter
- Desiccated coconut
Which Protein Powder Is Best?
Any protein powder should work well. However, this depends on the flavour that you want the pancakes to have hint of.
The peanut butter protein powder in my pancakes was nice and not too overpowering.
Customise This Recipe
- Change the toppings. Use any fruit that you liked and swap maple syrup for something like melted chocolate or biscoff spread.
- Use any protein flavour. As I previously mentioned, you can use any protein powder. The only thing it will affect is the taste. Use a flavour that you love.

Ingredients
Pancake Batter:
- 1 large ripe banana mashed
- 30 g golden caster sugar superfine
- 2.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 125 g self-raising flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 20 g vegan protein powder* I used peanut butter (see notes)
- 150 ml soy milk
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter for frying
Garnish:
- Maple syrup to taste
- Sliced bananas to taste (optional)
Instructions
Make the pancake batter:
- Mash your banana in a medium mixing bowl.
- Mix in the golden caster sugar, oil, vanilla and salt.
- Add in the self-raising flour, baking powder and protein powder. Fold the batter and only mix a little. Over mixing will take away the fluffiness.
- Finally, stir in the soy milk.
Fry the pancakes:
- Grease a non-stick frying pan with vegan butter. Place the pan over a medium-low heat for 1 minute so it can get hot. Don’t place the temperature too high.
- Add 2 tablespoons of pancake batter to the pan. Fry for 1 minute 30 seconds or when it bubbles. This should mean that the other side is golden brown. If the pancake is a darker brown or cooking too quickly, turn the heat down a little.
- Every stove is different. Once the pancake has solidified, keep checking to see golden brown. If you’re using an electric stove, it may take a little longer.
Garnish:
- Pour some maple syrup over your banana protein pancakes. Top them with sliced bananas.
Notes
- Use any protein powder that you like.
