Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 large Egg
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 medium Banana
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or non-stick spray
- Fresh fruit, yogurt, or syrup for topping (optional)
Instructions
Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until you achieve a fine flour-like consistency.
In the same blender, add the vanilla protein powder, egg, egg whites, banana, baking powder, almond milk, cinnamon, and salt.
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add an extra tablespoon of almond milk and blend again.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circular shape if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between batches if necessary.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of syrup.
