Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 medium, ripe banana
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon, for cooking coconut oil
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, add the rolled oats and blend until they become a fine flour.

Step 2

Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the blender and pulse a few times to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the blender with the dry ingredients and blend until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to traditional pancake batter.

Step 5

Fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter gently using a spatula.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil, ensuring it coats the skillet evenly.

Step 7

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the pancakes are cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 10

Serve the pancakes warm and enjoy your high protein boost!
