*Spoiler alert: you’re about to discover the perfect vegan breakfast!*
Imagine this: It’s Saturday morning, and you find yourself in that all-too-familiar predicament of craving a good old brunch but vegan. You've scoured countless restaurant menus, hoping to stumble upon the perfect brunch spot, but nothing quite tickles your taste buds. As you notice you’re starting to get hangry, you give Google one more shot before accepting the fate far too many of us vegans face: having to settle for a sandwich at home. Lo and behold, “Vegan Tiramisu Pancakes” pops up, and you realize that Cacao Cult is here to save your day (or breakfast)!
As passionate, vegan, and food-loving cacao fanatics, we’re constantly on the lookout for new interesting recipes to try and put our own little flare to it! Today we’re bringing you a vegan pancake recipe that we’ve meshed up with one of our favorite desserts: the tiramisu!
We’ve made a recipe with options so you and the rest of our cacao cult will be able to adapt it to your preference, budget, and time! You’ll see that we’ve recommended using protein powder, specifically My Protein’s vegan Tiramisu powder. Feel free to use this, swap it out for a tiramisu or flavorless protein powder you have at home, or skip it completely! We’ve also included vegan mascarpone to give it that extra taste of tiramisu, but there are options for that as well!
But if we’re being completely honest, these pancakes just hit differently with the Tiramisu flavored powder! It also gives us that extra kick to go hard in the gym afterward, building up those muscles we need to play out in the sun all day!
Now, what sets these pancakes apart from the rest? Organic, clean, and vegan cacao mashed with a tiramisu-inspired taste, do we really need to say more? These pancakes are infused with the rich, velvety essence of chocolate that maintains all of the nutrients the cocoa bean has, taking your taste buds on a tantalizing journey while fueling your body with healthy nutrients. Guilty pleasure? More like honoring your body and enjoying an unguilty chocolate treat.
Topped with a rich cacao sauce with a hint of espresso, these pancakes are the best way to start your day! If you think this will take your pancake game to a whole other level, you're right. Serve this plate with caution, as it will make anyone from your partner to your neighbor fall madly in love with you… Personally, though, the vegan protein powder is the cherry on top, making this the most delicious pre-workout breakfast! Now you can enjoy a guilt-free feast while fueling your body with the goodness it craves.
