Gluten-Free Protein Pancakes Recipe

Gluten-Free Protein Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (or oat flour)
  • 1 scoop of Jivana's Iso Whey Vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon for extra flavor

Instructions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients — In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, iso whey vanilla powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). The protein powder blends in smoothly and adds no grittiness.

  2. Combine wet ingredients — In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. Make the batter — Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix—lumps are okay! A few lumps mean fluffier pancakes.

  4. Cook — Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly butter it. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on top (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden.

  5. Serve — Stack warm and top with your favorite toppings!

Makes: About 8-10 pancakes Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes

Why Iso Whey Vanilla Works So Well

Your iso whey vanilla is the secret ingredient here. It dissolves seamlessly into the batter, adding complete protein without any chalky taste or weird texture. Your kids won't even know they're eating extra protein—they'll just know the pancakes taste delicious.

Plus, the vanilla flavor complements pancakes perfectly. It's like the protein powder was made for this recipe.

Make-Ahead Tip

Cooked pancakes freeze beautifully! Make a double batch on Sunday, freeze them, and reheat in the toaster on busy weekday mornings. Protein-packed breakfast in 2 minutes.
