The Rise of Protein Pancakes


In recent years, protein pancakes have gained popularity for several reasons. As more people recognise the importance of protein in their diet, protein pancakes have become a delicious go-to option for those seeking a healthy and satisfying way to start their day. Playing a crucial role in various bodily functions, protein helps aid muscle repair, boost metabolism, and satiety.

Protein pancakes are a great way to help you feel fuller for longer periods, reducing the temptation for unhealthy snacking throughout the day.

Our 
Molto Protein Super-Shake, with its sweet and versatile flavour, is an excellent addition to protein pancakes. Not only does it enhance the taste, but it also provides an extra boost of protein, making your breakfast more nutritionally balanced.

The Benefits of Protein Pancakes:


Muscle Repair and Growth:
It goes without saying that the protein powder contributes a significant amount to these protein pancakes. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, making these pancakes an ideal post-workout breakfast option.

Satiety and Weight Management:
Protein is known for its satiating properties. By incorporating protein pancakes into your breakfast, you're more likely to feel full and satisfied, reducing the likelihood of unhealthy snacking and aiding in weight management.

Balanced Nutrition:
Oats in the protein pancakes provide complex carbohydrates, offering a steady release of energy throughout the morning. The banana not only adds natural sweetness but also contributes essential nutrients like potassium and dietary fibre.

Versatility in Toppings:
One of the best things about protein pancakes is their versatility. You can personalise your protein pancake stack with a variety of toppings to suit your taste and nutritional preferences. Consider adding nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a nutritious flavour boost.

Breakfast

18g protein | 55g carbohydrates | 6g fat | 285 calories

1 cup (240g) of oats
1 scoop (18g) of Veloforte Molto protein powder
1 ripe banana
1 cup (240mls) of almond milk, or any milk of your choice!
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for the pan.

Instructions


1. Blend the Oats:
To create a fine pancake mix, start by blending the oats in a high-quality blender or food processor. This step ensures a smooth texture and even distribution of ingredients.

2. Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly. Add the blended oats, Molto protein powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Slowly pour in the almond milk while stirring the mixture until you achieve a smooth batter.

3. Let the Batter Rest:
Allow the batter to rest for at least 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the oats to absorb the liquid, resulting in a more cohesive and fluffy pancake texture.

4. Heat the Pan:
Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

5. Cook the Pancakes:
Once the pan is heated, pour a small amount of batter onto the surface to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating that it's time to flip. Cook the other side until golden brown.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
Once the protein pancakes are cooked to perfection, stack them on a plate and get creative with your toppings. Fresh berries, a drizzle of pure maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yoghurt are excellent choices for added flavour and nutrition.

Customise Your Protein Pancakes


While our recipe for protein pancakes is delicious on its own, get creative and customise it to suit your preferences. Here are some ideas for taking your protein pancakes to the next level:

Add Nut Butters:
Spread a layer of almond butter, peanut butter, or your favourite nut butter between the pancake layers for an extra dose of healthy fats and flavour.

Incorporate Superfoods:
Boost the nutritional profile by adding superfoods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds to the batter.

Experiment with Fruits: 
Fold in diced fruits like blueberries, strawberries, or chopped apples into the batter for a burst of freshness.

Go Nuts:
Sprinkle chopped nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans on top of your protein pancakes for added crunch and nutrition.

Dress it Up:
Drizzle a small amount of honey, agave nectar, or pure maple syrup over your protein pancakes for a touch of sweetness.
