Frequently asked questions
- How long do Vanilla Protein Pancakes with Berry Compote take?
- About 30 minutes in total: 10 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking the pancakes and the berry compote.
- Are Vanilla Protein Pancakes with Berry Compote vegetarian?
- Yes, they are vegetarian. The pancakes use flour, vanilla protein powder, almond milk and baking powder, topped with strawberries, blueberries and maple syrup.
- When should I flip the protein pancakes?
- Flip them once small bubbles appear across the surface and the edges look set. Flipping too early makes them tear and spread.
- How do I make the berry compote?
- Simmer the chopped strawberries and blueberries with a little maple syrup until the fruit softens and the juices turn syrupy. Stir gently so some berries stay whole.
- Can I use dairy milk instead of almond milk?
- Yes, dairy milk or oat milk work well. Add it gradually, as you may need slightly more or less to get a thick, pourable batter.
