Protein Pancakes
Serves 10 to 12 pancakes
These protein pancakes are a delicious, healthy breakfast! They're easy to make in the blender with simple ingredients like oats, banana, and Greek yogurt. We love them with maple syrup and fresh fruit on top.
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 ¼ cup (I use 365 Organic Pea Protein, Unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- In a blender, place the milk, banana, eggs, yogurt, avocado oil, maple syrup, vanilla, oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir to ensure the batter is evenly combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with oil. Use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to pour the batter into the pan, working in batches as necessary. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 1½ to 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside and cooked through in the middle. Reduce the heat to low if the pancakes are browning too quickly.
- The remaining batter will thicken between batches. If it becomes too thick, thin it with 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk as needed.
- Serve with maple syrup.
