Ingredients
Dry ingredients
130g buckwheat flour
40g gluten free oats (blended to a fine powder)
2 tbsp coconut sugar
2 tbsp vegan protein powder (sugar free if possible to keep the recipe naturally sweetened)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
1 tbsp flax seed powder
Wet ingredients
1 tin of coconut milk
To top (enough for 2 people, double quantities for more people)
2x Love Vegan morello cherry protein bar
1 banana
8 strawberries
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Chia seeds to sprinkle
Sprinkle of chocolate drops (optional but good)
Method
Place the dry ingredients into a large bowl
Add the coconut milk and mix together
Leave to rest for 5-10 minutes (otherwise the pancakes will be tough)
Whilst resting prepare the topping
Chop the Love Vegan bar into slices, slice the strawberries and banana and warm the peanut butter to make it runny
After the pancake mixture has rested simply spoon or ladle small sized rounds into a large frying pan, I usually manage to fit 4 pancakes per frying pan. If you use non-stick you don’t need any oil, if not them pop a teaspoon of oil in prier to the pancake mixture.
Fry for a couple of minutes each side
Once cooked keep warm whilst you make the rest
Load with all the toppings and drizzle with runny, warm peanut butter
As you can see the pancakes are light and fluffy, and they taste delicious

*For those of you eating a gluten free diet because of a gluten intolerance/allergy to gluten or suffering from celiac disease please check the ingredients listed in my recipes carefully. Although many of my recipes are gluten free please make sure you double check your ingredients to check. I am not intolerant to gluten so am no expert but I still like to provide GF options, please fully read your packets at home before making this, thank you :)
