Protein-Packed Pancakes

Fluffy, egg-free pancakes built on banana, flax, and plant protein

A systems based approach to wellness and beauty

Vegan recipe - 100% plant-based. No meat, poultry, fish or sea life, no eggs, and no dairy or honey. Nothing that once was a living animal.

About This Recipe

Pancakes have a way of turning an ordinary morning into a small celebration. This version keeps all of that comfort while quietly doing more for you - they are fully plant-based, egg-free, and built around banana and plant protein so a short stack actually carries you into the day rather than leaving you hungry an hour later.

The trick to egg-free pancakes is the flax egg: ground flaxseed stirred with water forms a gel that binds the batter just like an egg would, while adding fiber and plant-based fats. Mashed banana brings natural sweetness and tenderness, and a little plant milk loosens everything into a pourable batter.

They are wholesome enough for a weekday and special enough for a slow weekend. To lean into the protein, the batter takes a serving of Hanuvier's Plant Protein & Collagen Booster beautifully, combining plant protein with collagen-supporting nutrients in a single daily serving.

At a Glance

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp water, rested 5 minutes)
• 2 scoops Hanuvier Plant Protein & Collagen Booster
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• A dash of cinnamon
• 2 to 4 tbsp plant-based milk, as needed for a pourable batter
• Coconut oil, for the pan

Instructions

1. Make the flax eggs: stir the ground flaxseed and water together and let sit for 5 minutes until thick and gel-like.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana and flax eggs until smooth.
3. Stir in the Hanuvier Plant Protein & Collagen Booster, baking powder, and cinnamon until just combined, adding plant milk a tablespoon at a time to reach a thick but pourable batter. Do not overmix.
4. Lightly grease a non-stick pan or griddle with coconut oil and heat over medium heat.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and set - plant-based batter cooks best a little slower than egg batter.
6. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or coconut yogurt.

Wellness Connection

These pancakes show how a familiar comfort food can quietly support you. Banana brings potassium and natural sweetness, flax adds fiber and plant-based omega-3 fats, and the plant protein turns a treat into something genuinely sustaining. None of it works in isolation - it is the combination that makes a short stack feel satisfying rather than fleeting, which is exactly how we think about nourishment at Hanuvier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there no eggs?

This is a fully plant-based recipe, so eggs are replaced with flax eggs (ground flaxseed and water). They bind the batter just like eggs while adding fiber and plant-based fats.

Can I use mashed banana instead of flax?

Banana is already in the recipe for sweetness and tenderness; the flax eggs do the binding. If you prefer, you can swap the flax eggs for 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, though the pancakes will be a little more delicate.

How do I make them gluten-free?

The recipe has no flour, so it is naturally gluten-free as long as your protein powder is certified gluten-free.

Can I make them ahead?

Yes. Cook fully, cool, and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or warm pan.

What is Hanuvier's systems-based approach to wellness and beauty?

The body functions as an interconnected system, with nutrients participating in multiple biological processes and often working alongside one another. Hanuvier uses this systems perspective to develop thoughtfully formulated products that support wellness, beauty, or both through a holistic approach rather than a single-ingredient focus.
