Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium, ripe banana
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon, for cooking coconut oil
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, add the rolled oats and blend until they become a fine flour.
Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the blender and pulse a few times to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the blender with the dry ingredients and blend until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to traditional pancake batter.
Fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter gently using a spatula.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil, ensuring it coats the skillet evenly.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the pancakes are cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm and enjoy your high protein boost!
