Recipe: Protein Rich Vegan Pancakes (Surprise Ingredient! )

In my house pancakes are a staple on weekends. If I don’t make pancakes at least once I am subjected to constant whining and faces that sweep the floor! So I keep experimenting to make healthier versions of food that they enjoy. I want them to be happy (and for me to enjoy my weekend!).

Most pancake recipes use eggs and milk to make the batter. Much to my own delight, I discovered that those ingredients weren’t required to make a delicious pancake from scratch.So this pancake recipe which is made with buckwheat flour (kuttu ka atta), coconut oil, 100% pure maple syrup and chia seeds , is perfect and super healthy. Buckwheat is a gluten-free protein option which is rich in antioxidants and helps improve digestion. Chia seeds are an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids and coconut oil is the perfect vegan fat that helps make it all tastier.
