Description
Delicious protein‑packed pancakes that are meal prep‑friendly, naturally sweetened, and perfect for fueling your day or post‑workout gains.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats (or oat flour)
- 1 ½ scoops protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup milk of choice (dairy or plant‑based)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, nut butter, Greek yogurt, honey/maple syrup
Instructions
- In a blender, combine rolled oats (or oat flour), protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; blend until well mixed.
- Add mashed bananas, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract; blend until smooth batter forms.
- Heat a non‑stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
- Pour ¼‑cup portions of batter onto the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges set.
- Flip pancakes and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings like fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup.
Notes
- For extra protein, add a scoop of Greek yogurt to the batter.
- These pancakes freeze well — store in a zip‑top bag and reheat in the toaster or microwave.
- Substitute applesauce for bananas for a different flavor profile.
- Use flavored protein powder (like cinnamon roll or chocolate) for variety.
