Protein Banana Oat Pancakes (No Flour) - Easy, Filling, and Naturally Sweet
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana (with brown spots)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based; about 25–30 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4–1/3 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy), as needed for batter consistency
- Butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil for the pan
- Maple syrup, yogurt, fresh fruit, or nut butter for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Add banana, eggs, oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and 1/4 cup milk to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and pourable. If too thick, add a splash more milk. Aim for a thick but spoonable batter.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip gently and cook 1–2 minutes more, until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
