These high-protein pancakes (18% protein) are deliciously topped with fresh fruits, berries, peanut butter, and a drizzle of agave syrup. The idea came from my friend Svetlana, a vegan traveler from Germany. You can check out her profile on Instagram @svetlana.kohlrabi — she’s a friendly vegan guide in Bavaria!

Ingredients
Batter
200gSilken tofu(or firm)
30gAlmonds
50gErythritol*(or 7 dates for sugar-free)
2cupsWater
200gWhole Wheat Flour
0.5tspBaking soda
1tspOil (for frying)
Toppings
2mediumBananas
1medium Pear
60gBerries(frozen)
2tbsppeanut butter
2tbspAgave syrup
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. A non-stick pan is ideal for pancakes, but I use a regular frying pan with a ceramic coating, so I add a bit of oil at the start.
Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the preheated pan, forming a pancake about 12-15 cm in diameter. Bake for about a minute, covered with a lid, before flipping it with a spatula.
Cook the other side for 1.5-2 minutes.
The pancake is ready! You can make about 10 pancakes with this amount of batter.
To serve, top with sliced fruit (like banana and pear), peanut butter, berries, and syrup.

Since I don’t have an appropriate pan for pancakes (and they stick to it), I baked these pancakes over low heat and with the lid closed. A bit slowly, but worked well!*Sweetener Many people are trying to avoid sugar these days, and I think that’s a smart choice. If you’re looking for alternatives, check out this short video on alternative sweeteners—it might help you make a decision! My husband and I have been using Erythritol, and we like it so far, but we’re also planning to try xylit, which has promising qualities as well.
