Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until it forms a fine flour-like consistency.
Add the protein powder, egg whites, almond milk, ripe banana, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined. Let it sit for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of almond butter, if desired. Enjoy your bodybuilding-friendly breakfast!
