- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (low sodium)
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
In a blender, combine rolled oats, almond milk, egg whites, vanilla protein powder, low sodium baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Pour a small amount of pancake batter onto the skillet, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, optionally with fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup.
