Blueberry Pancakes with Vegan Cream
By: Debra Carey
There’s no better way to treat oneself for breakfast with something a little sweet, than with pancakes. Adding in blueberries and protein powder, you’re super charging this version of the classical fluffy American pancake. Blueberries are a unique superfood and king of the berries. Combined with protein and egg, you have a powerhouse breakfast that tastes soooooo good!
Ingredients
- 40g plain flour (or gluten free flour)
- 20g hemp or pea protein powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 45ml almond or oat milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 tsp butter
- 1/2 Tbsp sunflower oil
- 1/2 Tbsp vegan cream (oat or soya)
- maple syrup or honey to taste
Add calories with:
There’s already quite a lot of calories in this recipe but to boost the mix itself, you could add a mashed banana or an additional egg. You’ll need to experiment with the flavour of the extra egg as it could overpower the recipe. Remedy this with a little more vanilla essence.
Toppings are the best way to add calories to pancakes. You can try adding more fruit, fruite compote, whipped cream, coconut or chocolate chips. Good old chopped nuts will also pack in the calories and extra protein.

Step 2
In a separate bowl lightly whisk the egg and milk together until frothy. Add the vanilla extract ad whisk again to the same frothy consistency.
