Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup almond milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a blender, combine rolled oats and blend until it reaches a fine flour-like consistency.
Step 2
Add the protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Pulse a few times to mix the dry ingredients together.
Step 3
Peel the banana, break it into smaller pieces, and add to the blender with the almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth. The batter should have a thick, but pourable consistency; if too thick, add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with coconut oil or cooking spray.
Step 6
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into an even circle.
Step 7
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil or spray to the skillet as needed.
Step 9
Serve the protein pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
