Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (preferably plant-based)

1 medium ripe banana

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Cooking spray or coconut oil (for the skillet)

Fresh fruits and nuts for topping (e.g., blueberries, sliced strawberries, walnuts)

Instructions
 

Blend the Oats: Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until they reach a fine flour consistency.

    Mix Ingredients: Add the protein powder, banana, almond milk, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and maple syrup (if using) to the blended oats. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

      Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil.

        Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges look set, and bubbles begin to form on the surface.

          Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

            Serve: Stack your pancakes on a plate and top with fresh fruits, nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your healthy and delicious protein-packed pancakes!
