  • Updated

Delicious and nutritious pancakes, now with extra protein!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour blanched, finely ground (8 ounces)
  • 1 cup bob’s gluten free flour / rice flour
  • 2 scoops collagen protein
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 lg eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup almond/coconut milk + 1 tbsp mct

Directions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients fully, sift flour in if clumped (prevents pockets of unmixed ingredients which taste gross)
  2. Mix in the rest, add more milk if needed to ensure batter pours smoothly
  3. Cook on griddle at 350
  4. Enjoy! or let cool and freeze for later.

Freezing

Works great to cook in bulk and freeze most for later. I prefer my pancakes 100 at a time.

Notes

  • 7/18/26: replace baking soda with 2 tsp double-acting baking powder, rest batter 10 minutes, and cook at 350°F.
  • 5/4: needs more liquid, just shy of a cup. Binder needed, tapioca starch and xanthan gum are the current ideas.
    • I think giant bowl could hold a 9x batch
  • 10/17:
    • testing 2 scoops of orgain collagen protein, 1/2 tsp salt
    • Falls apart easily, some tapioca starch could help, try Bob’s instead of the rice flour next time
  • 7/6:
    • 3/4 cup almond milk helped. Still tastes dry.
    • Beating eggs helps somewhat w fluffiness, just dump everything else in and beat again.
    • How about applesauce for more moistness?
  • 5/29/24: up almond milk from .5 to 3/4 or more cup to get a pourable batter
    • Still too dry, especially after freezing.
