Equipment
Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1 large ripe banana ((about 135 g))
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup soy milk
- 30 g vanilla protein powder
- avocado oil (to grease the pan )
Syrup
- 1.5 cups frozen blueberries
- 1.5 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 4 tbsp water
- 2 tsp maple syrup (optional – see notes)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash the bananas using a fork. Mix in the ground flaxseed.
- Add the baking powder, baking soda, flour, and protein powder to the bowl. Mix well.
- Stir in the milk and let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat and lightly oil it. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter into the pan.
- Cook the pancake for a couple of minutes until bubbles form on the top, then flip it over. Cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the blueberry syrup. In a small pot, combine the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, chia seeds, water, and maple syrup if using. Bring the mixture to a slow boil for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Mash the blueberries roughly with a fork.
- Serve the pancakes stacked and covered with the blueberry syrup. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Notes
The sweetness of the syrup will depend on the ripeness of the blueberries; you can choose to hold the maple syrup until the blueberry syrup is ready, taste, and adjust to your liking.

Hi, what can I use in place of the protein powder?
You can skip it and add 1 extra tbsp of buckwheat flour 🙂
