Every time I find a new flavor of protein powder, my mind goes crazy with potential ways to use it. I rarely decide to make a protein shake. I usually prefer to use protein powder in baked goods like donuts, pancakes or muffins. Or, make a protein shake into protein ice cream.
I do like a good protein shake now and then, but it’s not as satisfying to me as actually eating food.
So, when I got the new Maple Donut flavor protein powder from Clean Simple Eats, I immediately wanted to try the powder to make maple flavored protein pancakes.
You don’t have to get Maple Flavored protein powder to make these donuts however. You can use vanilla protein powder, and add maple extract to your pancakes! That works too.

How to make gluten free protein pancakes
I started using gluten free flour in the past few weeks. Not because I am trying a gluten free diet, but just because I’m a baker, and foodie, and I wanted to see how well the gluten free flour could do in baking. I’ve been super impressed with my tests so far. I think Gluten free flours have come a long way in the past decade.
For the protein, a lot of recipes will have you using a full scoop of protein powder, which is great for maximum protein. But, when I’m baking with protein powder, I like to be a little more conservative. This helps me to get a better finished product when I only use a tablespoon or two. For these pancakes, I used half of a scoop (or 15 grams of protein powder).
For the pancake toppings, to make my pancakes taste like a donut, I used zero calorie powdered sugar with water, to make a glaze. This is SO Good! I could eat this glaze on almost anything!
So, give these gluten free maple protein pancakes a try, and let me know what you think!
