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)

Directions

Step 1

Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Stir in the chia seeds if desired.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Flip the pancake gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries, sliced fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, if desired.
