- 170gr oats
- 35gr vegan protein powder, flavor of your choice – This recipe contains SUPPLEAM Premium Plant-Based Protein in the flavor “Chai Latte”
- 7gr cocoa powder (optional, but delicious)
- 50gr dried dates (soaked in hot water, without seeds)
- 500ml of water
The vegan protein topping - 70-75gr unsweetened soy yogurt

Other Toppings: - 25gr nut butter

Recipe
- Place the dates in hot water;
- Drain the can of chickpeas and rinse the chickpeas under running water;
- In a blender or food processor add the chickpeas, oats, vegan protein powder, cocoa powder and dates without the seeds, skin and add water;
- Start the blender by pulsing several times first, so that the blender chops all the ingredients first. This will help the ingredients from getting stuck in your blender. Blend until you have a smooth batter;
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add oil or cooking spray. Make sure the oil is evenly distributed throughout the pan. Use a kitchen paper towel or a heat-resistant kitchen brush for this.
- Add about 100-120gr of batter (1/2 cup) to the pan and bake on low-medium heat;
- Flip the pancake as soon as you begin to see small air holes or as soon as the top of your pancake has started to dry;
- Continue to bake the pancakes for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the inside to cook through;
- Repeat this process until you’ve used up all the batter.
- While waiting, make the vegan protein topping (but keep an eye on the pancakes to make sure they don’t burn!) Mix 70-75gr unsweetened soy yogurt with 15gr vegan protein powder with a small whisk.
- When the pancakes are ready, stack them on top of eachother, add the vegan protein topping, drizzle 25gr of nut butter and add extra slices of banana or other portion of fruit.
