Protein Pancakes

Ingredients

Protein powder

1 scoop (about 30g)

Rolled oats

1 cup

Ripe banana

1, mashed

Egg

1

Milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 cup

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Baking powder

1 tablespoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Coconut oil

2 tablespoons (for cooking)

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, etc.)

1 cup, for serving

Maple syrup

to taste, for serving

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the protein powder, rolled oats, mashed banana, egg, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the coconut oil, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
3. Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
4. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
5. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
