Fluffy, naturally nutritious pancakes made with British Hemp Co Hemp Protein Powder. Packed with plant protein and fibre, they're perfect for breakfast, post-workout recovery or a healthy weekend brunch.

Ingredients (Makes 6–8 pancakes)

  • 100g plain flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 40g British Hemp Co Hemp Protein Powder 50% or 40%
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 medium egg (or a flax egg for a vegan version)
  • 180ml milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil or light olive oil
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional additions

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Blueberries 
  • Bananas
  • Dark chocolate chips
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Hemp Hearts for topping

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, hemp protein powder, baking powder and sea salt.
  2. In a separate jug, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, maple syrup and melted oil.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
  4. Leave the batter to rest for 5 minutes. This helps create lighter, fluffier pancakes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
  6. Spoon around 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm with your favourite toppings.

Serving Suggestions

  • Fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup
  • Sliced banana with almond butter
  • Greek or plant-based yoghurt with Hemp Hearts
  • Mixed berries and natural yoghurt
  • A spoonful of berry compote for a naturally sweet finish

Why Add Hemp Protein?

British Hemp Co Hemp Protein Powder is naturally rich in plant protein and fibre, making it an easy way to boost the nutritional value of your breakfast. Unlike many protein powders, hemp protein also contains naturally occurring minerals and healthy fats, helping you stay fuller for longer while adding a subtle, nutty flavour.

  • No artificial sweeteners
  • Made using British-grown hemp

Top Tip

For extra fluffy pancakes, avoid over-mixing the batter. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and help create a lighter texture.
