Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk plus more as needed
  • 1 medium very ripe banana
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil plus more for the pan
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whole rolled oats
  • 2 scoops protein powder about ½ cup (I use 365 Organic Pea Protein, Unflavored)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving plates

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your banana is very ripe; this adds natural sweetness and creaminess to your pancakes.
  2. In a blender or food processor, add the rolled oats and blend until they reach a fine flour-like consistency. This will be the base of your pancake mix.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the banana, milk, eggs, Greek yogurt, avocado oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the blended oats, protein powder, baking powder, and sea salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with avocado oil.
  7. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the preheated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Serve your Protein Pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Enjoy the heartiness and flavor in every bite!

Notes

  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flaxseed meal and use plant-based yogurt.
  • If your pancakes are too thick, add more milk to thin the batter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
