Banana Protein Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups rolled oats
• ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
• 3 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 4 medium mashed bananas (can substitute 2 eggs and 2 mashed bananas)
• ½ cup coconut milk (can substitute with plain Greek yogurt)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil (melted but not hot (can substitute with melted butter or avocado oil))
• 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup

Steps

1. 1

   Add oats, salt, and baking powder into the jar of your kitchen blender or food processor. Blend until it has a powdery-like consistency.

2. 2

   Add the remaining ingredients and blend until combined.

3. 3

   Add a tablespoon or two of milk if the batter seems to be on the thick side. Make sure the batter isn’t super thick or else it will cause the pancakes to be dense.

4. 4

   Grease a nonstick pan with oil or butter.

5. 5

   Drop 2 tablespoons of butter onto the skillet. Or use an ice cream scoop that is about 2 tablespoons in size.

6. 6

   Cook pancakes on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on one side. And about 1-2 minutes on the second.

7. 7

   Serve your pancakes warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and additional maple or honey syrup. Top with fresh fruits, if desired.
