Description
Start your morning with a cozy twist: Gin Gingerbread Protein Pancakes blend warm gingerbread spices with a hint of gin and a protein boost for a satisfying, flavorful breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or gingerbread flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons gin
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or oil for the pan
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, gin, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes more.
- Stack the pancakes and serve warm with desired toppings.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, replace gin with almond milk and add almond extract.
