These are the perfect healthy swap to keep me feeling good until I have the real deal homemade cinnamon rolls Christmas morning. Is there anything more cozy than a slow Christmas morning? To whip up these scrumptious pancakes, start with 1/3 cup or 1 serving of The Peachie Spoon Vanilla Protein Powder—whey protein works best for that perfect flip.
Add 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce to keep the pancakes moist and flavorful. For a choice between heartiness and lightness, include either 1/4 cup of oats or 2 tablespoons of coconut flour. Both options offer a delightful texture.
Incorporate 1 teaspoon of baking powder to ensure your pancakes rise to perfection. Crack in 1 egg for that essential pancake consistency. Infuse the batter with the warm and inviting aroma of cinnamon by adding 1/2 to 1 teaspoon.
Enhance the overall flavor with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla or butter extract. A dash of pink salt brings out the sweetness and ties the flavors together. Finally, pour in 1/4 cup of your preferred milk—I used unsweetened cashew milk—to achieve the ideal pancake batter consistency.
Cook these pancakes on a griddle or pan until golden brown on both sides and voilà—indulge in the delightful taste of Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Enjoy!

🎄dash of pink salt

☃️1/4 c milk of choice, used unsw cashew

Almond Cream Cheese Icing:

STEPS
-
-
Add all ingredients to the blender and blend on low, then medium until the oats are blended well. Dough is usually runny unless you use vegan protein powder.
-
Heat a sprayed skillet over medium heat, add dough and flip after a few minutes. Makes three 6” pancakes or eight 4”. This recipe is for 1 serving so if feeding a crowd double or triple. You can meal prep these, and they’re good in the fridge for a week. Freeze well too.
- For a pancake bowl, pour batter in a sprayed bowl or dish and microwave 1-3 minutes. Longer if it’s a deep bowl, shorter if it’s a larger shallow dish.
- Optional Icing: In a small glass bowl combine and microwave in 30-second increments until melted. Pour over your stack.

Just made these! I blended up the batter last night and stored in the fridge. Cooking was easy, and flavor was great! I omitted the icing and instead topped with a little bit of sugar free maple syrup, but these pancakes really didn’t need it! Will make again!
