Hemp Protein Pancakes (Paleo)

Jan 31, 2023 · 1 Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

These hemp protein pancakes are soft, fluffy and great for a healthy breakfast. This protein pancake recipe is made with hemp protein powder and almond flour. They're paleo friendly, gluten free and dairy free.

I'm a big fan of pancakes for breakfast, but I like my pancakes with a bit of protein powder to keep me full through the morning.

These hemp protein pancakes are the perfect option, as they're made with my favorite hemp protein powder.

Hemp protein can have a bit of a bite to it, but I promise, you can't taste it in this pancake recipe. My kids couldn't even detect it and they aren't all that fond of protein powder.

Why You'll Love these Hemp Protein Pancakes

There are so many reasons to love these paleo hemp pancakes. They're:

  • gluten free and grain free - made with almond flour and tapioca starch
  • packed with protein thanks to the hemp protein powder
  • dairy free
  • easy to make - great for a quick breakfast
  • delicious and kid friendly

Ingredients

Here's a list of what you need to make these paleo hemp protein pancakes:

  • eggs
  • pumpkin puree
  • maple syrup
  • vanilla extract
  • almond flour
  • tapioca starch
  • hemp protein powder
  • baking powder
  • pumpkin spice
  • salt

I made these pancakes with a mixture of almond flour and tapioca starch to keep this recipe grain free, gluten free and paleo friendly. They work well in combination with hemp protein to create a fluffy, moist pancake texture.

This protein pancake recipe uses pumpkin puree to add some moisture. However, the pumpkin can be swapped with applesauce or mashed banana if you prefer. This will obviously change the taste a bit, but shouldn't have much effect on the texture.

How to Make Hemp Protein Pancakes

These hemp protein pancakes are super easy to make. Simply combine the ingredients for the batter, pour the batter onto a preheated frying pan (I used my 10.5" ceramic frying pan), cover and cook until done! Here are the step by step instructions:

  1. First, combine the eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup and vanilla in a mixing bowl.  Whisk until smooth.
  2. Whisk in the remaining pancake ingredients. The batter is some-what runny but creates the perfect fluffy pancake.

  1. Preheat a frying pan on medium heat and grease with a small amount of oil.  (I used coconut oil.)
  2. Pour ¼ cup batter on frying pan, cover with a lid and cook on medium heat until bubbles start to form on top of the pancake.  Flip the pancake, then cook until done.  Repeat until no more batter remains. Note: I like to cover pancakes when cooking them because it more evenly distributes the heat and creates a fluffier pancake. If you're cooking them on a griddle and/or without a lid, that's fine. They just won't be quite as fluffy.
  3. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Best Paleo Pancake Toppings

There are a lot of great paleo pancake toppings. Some of my favorites include: pure maple syrup, raw honey, coconut butter, 100% dark mini chocolate chips, fresh or frozen berries, homemade jam, coconut yogurt and cinnamon.

Storage

You can store leftover batter in the fridge. Simply cover the mixing bowl with some bees wax wrap or plastic wrap and place in the fridge. It's best used within 3 days.

In addition, store any leftover cooked pancakes in a sealed container in the fridge and enjoy within one week.

Best Hemp Protein Powder

My favorite hemp protein powder is from Evo Hemp. Their protein powder is free from pesticides, fungicides and it's non-GMO. They also 3rd party test each batch to make sure they are providing the best quality products possible.

I love using their hemp protein powder in smoothies and baked goods, adding a sprinkle of their hemp seeds to meals and taking their CBD oil if I'm feeling stressed.

Evo Hemp's hemp products are top quality and what I recommend.
