Vanilla Protein Pancakes with Choc-Tahini Sauce

Deliciously sweet, fluffy and golden brown – these Vanilla Protein Pancakes are a winner!

And they're healthy too! Packed with more than 20g of plant protein thanks to our Raw Protein Isolate, they're super versatile and be topped with anything you like – berries, banana, maple syrup, ice-cream or – our personal favourite – this decadent Choc-Tahini Sauce.

Made from only 4 ingredients, it’s super simple to whip up while your pancakes are cooking. It features antioxidant- and iron-rich cacao as well as hulled tahini, a tasty paste made from sesame seeds. It's a solid source of protein, fibre, monounsaturated fats and Vitamins B1 and B2 (no, we're not talking about the Bananas in Pyjamas).

Note: These pancakes are best enjoyed in bed with a good book and a fresh cup of coffee. Ahhh.
