I couldn’t help myself.
After last week’s Thin Mint Pancake success, I just HAD to flex my muscles spatula and try my hand at another Girl Scout cookie fave…
What do you think? Looks like another success to me!
Take THAT you little sash-wearing she-devils! 😉
I’ll admit, it’s been absolute agony waiting a WHOLE WEEKÂ to share these with you guys. Seriously, one bite and I about fell in the floor!
And well, I just can’t stop patting myself on the back…
Not only do these cakes have the perfect amount of crispness on the outside…
Yet pillowy soft consistency on the inside…
But that TOPPING?…Now THAT was a gift sent straight from the cookie gods!
Who knew the combo of coconut flour and maple syrup could taste
JUST LIKE caramel sauce?! 
And just like last week…I’m sharing with EVERYONE!!!!

Nutrition Facts for pancakes ONLY using this vegan protein powder:
*Edited to add: The nutritional calculator has a mind of it’s own…the ACTUAL Iron count is around 30%…NOT 100%! Lol
And because I KNOW I’m going to get questions and because YOU KNOW I love you guys, even though these came out fannnnnntastic on the first try, I went back in the kitchen and whipped up another batch with some substitutions…
Which meant, I had to eat them again…
Ohhhhhh DARN! 😉
The non-vegan version finds itself a little fluffier thanks to the egg whites, but still with all the great flavor of the first! Besides the texture, I literally could NOT tell the difference between these stacks if you asked me to!
Recipe alterations:
Substituted 1/2 scoop whey protein for 2 Tbsp of brown rice protein
Added 1 large egg white, whisked before stirred in
Omitted chia seed “egg” and applesauce
Reduced almond milk to 1/3 cup instead of 2/3 cup
If you do NOT have coconut flour:
Just add more flour or protein powder to the mix
In place of buckwheat flour:
I would suggest oat flour (ground from rolled oats) since it has a lighter weight compared to other flours.
No coconut flour?
Make these coconut protein pancakes without the almond extract
And finally, the butter flavor…
Get it at Whole Foods, Got it, GOOD! 😀
Totally optional, but tooooootally delicious!
What’s the last kitchen concoction you patted yourself on the back for?
What are you up to today?
Please share so I can live vicariously through you and pretend that I’m not just laying here working on making a Heather-sized dent in my couch!
