Can I freeze these Vegan Protein Pancakes?
Absolutely. I usually prepare two batches of the recipe to have breakfast covered for the whole week. Sometimes I freeze half of the pancakes and leave the rest in the fridge (they keep well for 6-7 days).

Gluten is the protein found in wheat. You can generally find this flour (vital wheat gluten) in health food stores, at the supermarket, and to go on the safe side, online.

Ingredients
- 180 g whole wheat flour
- 100 g gluten flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 300 ml non-dairy milk
- 120 ml water
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a big bowl, mix whole wheat flour, gluten flour, baking powder and sugar.
- Add the milk, water, oil, vanilla extract and mix until a homogeneous batter is formed (do not over-mix, stop once there’s no more flour lumps).
- In a hot and lightly oiled nonstick skillet, pour some of the batter (around ½ cup), forming medium size disks. Cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for a couple more minutes until both sides are lightly golden.
- Remove and serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
The pancakes are not too sweet, so feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding a little maple/agave syrup when serving or by adding a little more sweetener to the mix.
each pancake will have 12 grams of protein so 2 pancakes will equal 24 grams of protein?
That’s correct 🙂
Can you explain how there are 12 g of protein per pancake? Maybe it’s 12 g per serving?
It’s mainly because of the gluten flour 🙂 Just 100 g of gluten flour have 72 g of protein 😉 So it’s all that plus the protein contained in the rest of the ingredients. It was all calculated with accurate nutritional information of each of the ingredients. Hope that solves your question :)!
