Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup protein powder (optional, flavor of choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries or sliced fruit (for topping, optional)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
Add the banana, egg, almond milk, baking powder, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and protein powder (if using) to the blender. Blend until a smooth batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of almond milk at a time to thin it out slightly.
Stir in the chia seeds if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries, sliced fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, if desired.
