Delicious fluffy pancakes packed with 25-30g of protein per serving. Made with oats and protein powder, these easy breakfast pancakes keep you full and energized all morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray or coconut oil (for the pan)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend for 30-45 seconds until you have a fine flour-like consistency.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or coconut oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed. Makes 8-10 medium pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
