Easy Protein Pancakes are quick, fluffy, and packed with protein, making them a perfect healthy breakfast or post-workout meal. They’re made with simple ingredients like oats, banana, eggs, and protein powder for a naturally gluten-free and satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats or oat flour
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ripe banana (or 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Add eggs, banana, milk, and vanilla (if using).
  2. Blend until smooth. Let the batter sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve warm with desired toppings like fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use oat flour for a smoother batter if not using a blender.
  • Substitute banana with applesauce, Greek yogurt, or mashed pumpkin.
  • Adjust thickness with a splash more milk if the batter is too thick.
