Pancake Day is just around the corner and we’ve got some seriously tasty ideas for you to try.
When it comes to important dates on the calendar, Pancake Day is definitely up there in our top 3. The countdown has basically been on since Christmas to enjoy a whole day dedicated to eating pancakes around the clock.
We teamed up with plant-based foodie, Leila Hannoun, for these incredibly simple high-protein pancake recipes. Who'd have thought you can get such a variety of results with the same easy-to-use, macro-friendly Vegan Protein Pancake Mix as the base?
Good luck choosing which one to make first.

4. Biscoff Souffle Pancakes
Serves 1Ingredients
- 100g Vegan Protein Pancake Mix (2 scoops)
- 180-200ml almond milk
- 2 tbsp. Biscoff spread (melted)
Method
- First, prepare your pancake moulds by wrapping two large circular cookie cutters in tin foil. If you don’t have a cookie cutters, don’t worry, you should be able to create moulds with tin foil alone – just fold a large piece over on itself a few times to make a thick, sturdy strip about 5cm tall and tape together the two ends to form a circle.
- Then make a thick pancake batter by adding the Pancake Mix and almond milk together in a small jug or bowl and stirring until smooth.
- Next, carefully add the pancake batter to a non-stick frying pan, within the pancake moulds you have created. Add a spoonful at a time until each one is full, then turn the heat on low, add a teaspoon of water to the frying pan and place the lid over the pan to create steam.
- Cook for around 5 minutes, before flipping carefully and cooking for another 5 minutes on the other side.
- Once cooked, remove from the moulds and place on a plate. Smother with plenty of melted Biscoff spread and enjoy!
