Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Banana
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or coconut oil
Instructions
Begin by blending the rolled oats into a fine flour using a blender or food processor. Transfer the oat flour into a mixing bowl.
Add the protein powder, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to the bowl and mix well until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth, then add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with olive oil or coconut oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter gently into a circular shape if needed.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes, until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
