Oat flour for the win

Many protein pancake recipes use a combination of half flour and half protein powder, with the powder serving as a replacement for flour. This can give a real flavour punch and some added muscle fuel, but it's important not to use too much.

Oat flour, which is naturally gluten-free, is a great option for protein pancake recipes, but if gluten isn't a concern, plain flour can also be used.

Invest in a good pan

When it comes to a successful pancake day, a good non-stick pan is essential. If you're going to be flipping on the regular though you might want to invest in a specialist pancake pan. These pans will have a shallow lip that aids flipping, the optimum non-stick surface, and a thin, flat metal base for quick heat distribution and even cooking.

Have enough liquid to hand

Protein powders absorb a lot of liquid (and can be a bit dry as a result), so make sure to use enough liquid like a vegan milk, mashed banana, apple puree, or mashed sweet potato.

Protein pancake flipping is an art form

To flip your pancake properly, wait till your mixture has cook on one side. It should come away from the pan when you give it a shake. Then tip the pancake to the edge of the pan and flip. It's the same action as you would use when making a stir-fry with a wok – a confident flick of the wrist.
