    For me, pancakes simply come with that weekend feeling - and these vegan and gluten-free rice protein pancakes are simply perfect to ensure you get some of all your macros (carbs, fats AND proteins!) with this delicious vegan breakfast option.

    This vegan protein pancake recipe is:

    • 100% vegan
    • Easy to follow
    • Gluten-free as this recipe uses back with flour instead of regular flour
    • High in protein
    • Great as a vegan breakfast, but also as a snack
    • Easy to make ahead of time
    • A great use of vegan protein powder
    Rice Protein Pancakes Vegan Gluten Free

    When I first worked on this recipe in early 2019, Pancake Day had only just passed and I simply couldn't help but showcase some vegan pancake magic at my cookery demo at the Vegan Life Live event that year. Collaboration with the protein brand Pulsin, I created this delicious rice protein pancake recipe using the vegan rice protein mix.

    I was honestly blessed to have been invited back to create a cookery demo at Vegan Life Live for the second year in a row, and I am grateful that Pulsin have partnered with me for this year. My cookery demo was focused all-around 'Vegan Breakfast Goals' - despite finding out after that my demo was going to take place at 4 pm in the afternoon on a Sunday. But hey: I hope I could inspire one person or another for their Monday morning breakfast goals!

    Rice Protein Pancakes Vegan Gluten Free

    In creating this recipe, I have experimented a little with different types of protein powder and found that the rice protein held the pancakes together in the best way - and also tasted the best! Of course, depending on your personal preference, you can also use the protein you have on hand, but I cannot guarantee they will hold together as well as this recipe for rice protein pancakes does (e.g. in my experience hemp protein needs more of a binder added to the batter, such as flaxseeds, chia seeds or a vegan egg replacement.

    How to Replace Egg in Vegan Protein Pancakes

    Let's talk egg replacements! As you can tell from the ingredients list below, I have not used any fancy egg replacers in this recipe for rice protein pancakes. In fact, in a traditional pancake recipe, the eggs have a purely binding purpose and do not add to the flavour profile of the dish and with the rice protein being perfect in itself to bind the pancakes together, an egg replacement was not strictly necessary in this simple recipe.

    However, to make these pancakes a little fluffier, I have used soy yogurt and apple cider vinegar as the liquid components in this recipe. Simply combine the 2 and set them aside for ideally 10 minutes before moving forward. This will allow for the vinegar to break down and curdle the yogurt further and this will create air in the pancake batter later, resulting in softer and fluffier pancakes (it's magic!)

    Ingredients

    • 1 ripe banana, medium -ize
    • 2 Tbsp Alpro coconut-flavoured yogurt - you could also use an alternative choice of plant based yoghurt
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • coconut oil for lightly greasing your skillet
    • 2 Tbsp Pulsin Rice Protein or vegan rice protein powder of your choice
    • 2 Tbsp buckwheat flour

    How to top your vegan rice protein pancakes

    In terms of toppings - you probably know by now that I am a massive fan of extensive topping options.

    Some of my favourites include:

    • more dairy-free yogurt (coconut is a great choise!), I also love mixing flavoured vegan protein powder with yoghurt
    • fresh fruit such as sliced bananas or fresh or frozen berries
    • toasted nuts and seeds for an extra crunch, I specifically like toasted pecans
    • a drizzle of agave or Canadian maple syrup for the most delicious finish!

    I hope you will enjoy this simple and foolproof recipe for rice protein pancakes just as much as I did - bon appetit!
