Happy Pancake Day! I adore pancakes all year round and need no excuse to eat them. However since it’s Pancake Day in the UK today I thought I should come up with a special pancake recipe to mark the occasion.
Ingredients (makes 5 pancakes)
To make the chocolate protein pancakes:
2 scoops of chocolate protein powder
1 whole egg
1/3 cup of spelt flour
1/4 cup of almond milk
1/2 tsp of baking powder
To make the chocolate almond protein frosting:
2 tbsps of plain natural yoghurt
1 tsps of almond butter
1 tsp of chocolate protein powder
1 tsp of cocoa powder
To make the cherry and almond sauce (optional):
1/4 cup of frozen cherries
3 drops of almond extract
To make the pancakes beat all of the ingredients together until well combined. The batter should have a dropping consistency when it falls off the spoon.
Heat some oil in a pan (I used coconut oil) and add tablespoon portions or more to the hot pan. Cook the pancakes on one side for about 3 minutes and flip them on the other side and cook for a further minute.
Mix all of the ingredients for the frosting together and spread on top of each of your pancakes to make a tower. The cherry and almond sauce is simply in the microwave by heating the frozen cherries and almonds together for a few minutes or until the cherries have softened.
This recipe was so delicious that I have entered it in to the Confused.com Pancake Challenge.

Alfie and me are celebrating Pancake Day tomorrow as we are both working today, but are both off from work tomorrow, yay! I’m not sure what kind of pancakes I’m going to make yet. All I know is that they are going to be super tasty as always! =)
What kind of pancakes are you cooking today? Have you tried protein pancakes before?
They look delicious!…I totally forgot pancake day 🙁 just enjoying some greek yogurt and berries for my breakfast…maybe I’ll have pancakes for dinner 🙂 x
…p.s. which protein powder do you use? and have you tried many from the UK? I’m thinking of trying ‘myprotein’, they seem to be the most reasonably priced x
@Laura oh I use a whole load of different powders. I love Spirutein and Good Hemp powders and really want to try Sun Warrior and Brown rice protein powder. Myprotein have a really nice selection of powders too.
Wow Jemma those look absolutely delicious! I had frozen cherries on my pancakes last night (we celebrated a day late!). Hope you have a fun pancake day tomorrow 🙂
I made pumpkin chickpea flour protein pancakes and topped with banana caramelized in coconut butter + coconut sugar, yum!
Nommy! Happy Pancake Day!
@Nikki I hope you enjoyed your pancakes!
They look so good, I want pancakes all day!
@Tam Ha! I was tempted to make more pancakes for dinner too.
These look particularly delicious! I love the idea of having them with cherries 🙂 My sister made me pancakes this morning which was lovely!
@Sophie Thanks! It’s such a treat when other people make them for you 🙂
Wow, those look amazing, Jemma!
@Liz Thank you! 🙂
Just wanted to let you know that I made these today and they were absolutely delicious! I swapped the cherries for raspberries (personal preference) but they were amazing!
