The Best Pancake Recipe: The Space Pancake

Warren Shanti
05/03/2025

This week, in the ‘A Little Bit About Me’ section of my newsletter, it’s time for the long-awaited indulgent moment: the recipe for my favorite breakfast, the healthy space pancake. Be warned, once you’ve tasted it, there’s no going back.

The essentials

  • A healthy and delicious pancake made with gluten-free sweet potato flour.
  • A vegan version is possible, using chia seeds instead of eggs.
  • My favorite flour: Yam Nutrition’s, with a 5% discount thanks to code ZEY12Z7NDH.
  • Ready in minutes, with only 3 or 4 ingredients.

A delicious, healthy, and nourishing pancake

This little marvel is made with sweet potato flour, a gluten-free alternative with a moderate glycemic index. Ideal for an indulgent breakfast that takes care of your energy and health. The batter contains eggs, but if you prefer a 100% vegan version, I’ve thought of you too.

The best sweet potato flour

I’ve tested tons of sweet potato flours over the years, and I’ve finally found the best: Yam Nutrition’s sweet potato flour. Perfect texture, irresistible taste, and ideal consistency for ultra-fluffy pancakes. You can also use it for cakes, bread, and many other recipes.

Bonus: I’ve secured a 5% discount for you on the entire site with the promo code ZEY12Z7NDH. Further down, I’ll also tell you about a sugar-free spread, available on the same site.


The Space Pancake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 mashed banana (or 2 tablespoons of applesauce for a lighter version);
  • 1 or 2 eggs (or, for the vegan version, 1 to 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 3 to 5 tablespoons of plant-based milk);
  • 1 or 2 scoops of sweet potato flour, depending on your hunger;
  • a little natural flavoring (vanilla, orange blossom) for even more flavor.

An amazing topping

  • My magic base: a good tablespoon of 100% peanut butter (or hazelnut, almond) and a teaspoon of GoNuts spread, also available on Yam Nutrition.
  • Fruits: kiwi, raspberries and blueberries, or fresh mango and kiwi.
  • Crunch: lightly toasted almonds and pistachio slivers.
  • The final touch: shredded coconut or coconut cream (Koro’s is exceptional), and a few goji berries.
