by These 15-Minute Blender Vegan Protein Pancakes pack over 25 grams of protein per serving and are made with protein powder while still being super fluffy and lightly sweet, without any of the chalkiness! They make the perfect high protein vegan breakfast recipe the whole family will love!
As a Registered Dietitian, you already know I’m always touting the benefits of eating a solid breakfast, which is why I’m always sharing easy, healthy breakfast recipes that are high in protein AND easy to make… And this one totally checks all of the boxes!
I tested these healthy pancakes to perfection to make sure they’re still light and fluffy, even though we use protein powder as part of the base, and they have a light vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with classic maple syrup, some berries, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt!
A Protein Packed Breakfast You’ll Actually Crave
I’m also no stranger to using protein powder in a recipe when I feel like the recipe could actually use it, and the protein won’t take away from the flavor- just like in my 10 Minute No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars, which are the perfect easy snack when you’re craving something chocolatty but still healthy!
Because we add the protein powder, these easy vegan pancakes have a whopping 25 grams per serving, meaning they’ll actually keep you full longer than like, 5 minutes.
If you want something super fresh to pair these protein pancakes with, may I suggest my Best Ever Strawberry Smoothie (Dairy-Free!)?! It takes less than 5 minutes to throw together and totally rounds out this easy breakfast!

Freeze Them To Meal Prep!
One of my favorite hacks with these blender pancakes is to make a double batch and store them in the freezer with some parchment paper separating them.
Then, when I want an easy breakfast, I just pop a few in the toaster and voila! You have perfectly cooked pancakes in no time!
Blend ‘Er Up!
I tested these easy protein pancakes many times to make sure they turn out perfectly, and while you can (and should!) use the blender as the easiest way to make them, don’t blend for much longer than a few seconds, or until the ingredients are juuuuuust combined, because we want to make sure they’re still nice and fluffy!
If you don’t have a blender, I’ve also tested whisking the ingredients together in a large bowl, and that works well, too!
15-Minute Blender Vegan Protein Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups unsweetened soy milk, plus more as needed
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder, or flavor of your choice
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil, or other neutral tasting oil
- 1 tbsp vegan butter, for cooking
Equipment
Instructions
- Add the unsweetened soy milk, all purpose flour, protein powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and olive oil to a high speed blender and blend on medium speed until the batter is just combined. You may need to add an additional tablespoon or two of soy milk to get a pourable batter consistency.
- Heat the butter over a large pan over medium heat. Pour the batter into the pan to make pancakes with approximately four inches in diameter. This recipe makes about 8 pancakes.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until you start to see bubbles come through the top, then flip. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat until all of the batter is used up and enjoy!
Hi! I don’t have granulated sugar. Have you tried another option like maple syrup or?
Hi Christine, I haven’t tried maple syrup myself but I’m sure it would work well! You could remove 2 tbsp of soy milk from the recommended amount if needed, but even that probably isn’t necessary. Let me know how it goes!
