Ultimate Gluten-Free Protein Pancake Bowl
A delicious and nutritious gluten-free protein pancake bowl, perfect for a healthy breakfast. This versatile dish combines comforting pancake flavors with added protein and can be customized with various toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk alternative (e.g., almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 large egg
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or stevia)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for added fiber)
- Cooking oil for griddle
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose gluten-free flour blend, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry components together thoroughly.
- 2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk alternative, one large egg, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Ensure these are well blended. If using, whisk in the ground flaxseed.
- 3. Mix and Rest: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to tough pancakes. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the mixture to thicken slightly.
- 4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 5. Assemble Your Bowl: Stack your cooked pancakes in a serving bowl. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy immediately.
