Description
A cozy, protein-packed breakfast with the warm spices of gingerbread and a hint of gin.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon gin
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 egg
- Cooking spray or oil for the pan
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to distribute evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together unsweetened almond milk, gin, maple syrup, and the egg until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a little oil. Pour batter onto the skillet in pancake-sized portions (about 1/4 cup each). Cook for 2–3 minutes on the first side until bubbles appear and edges look set, then flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve pancakes warm with extra maple syrup, butter, yogurt, or fresh fruit on top.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure tender pancakes. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes for fluffiness. Adjust cooking heat to maintain golden edges.
