Pancake Tacos Recipe
Whenever breakfasts start seeming a bit repetitive, I like to break away from the usual menu and make pancake tacos. I make these pancakes in just 28 minutes with oats, banana, and vanilla protein powder. They are thin enough to fold into a soft shell taco, but sturdy enough to hold sweet fruit fillings.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the oats into a high-speed food processor and blend until it forms a fine powder.
- Add all remaining pancake ingredients, blend on high until smooth.
- Remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Heat a large skillet and lightly spray with oil.
- Spoon ¼ cup of batter into the skillet and spread to form a circle.
- Cook on medium heat until bubbles start to form, flip and cook for a further 3 minutes until cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Allow pancakes to cool before filling with coconut yoghurt and topping with your favorite fruit, crushed nuts and nut butter.
Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for this pancake tacos recipe is to always blend the oats into a very fine powder before making the batter. I use a smooth batter to create pancakes that cook well and stay flexible enough to fold without cracking.
- Adjust the thickness: If the batter in the bowl starts to thicken up while I am busy frying, I add 1/2 -1 teaspoon of plant milk into the batter.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: I make sure there is sufficient space between each pancake so they do not fuse during cooking, and so I can flip them easily.
- Cool before folding: I make sure to fold only after the pancake has cooled, as they are less prone to cracking and breaking.
- Assemble carefully: I like assembling my pancake tacos with yogurt or thick spread first, then chopped fruit or filling, then nuts, and leave the runniest ingredient until last, to avoid it soaking through the pancake and breaking the shell.
- Keep taco shape: To help keep a taco shape while filling, I place a cup on each side of the taco. This helps me not to overfill the tacos while helping mold them into the signature shape.
