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

  1. Place the oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a blender and blend until the mixture resembles a fine flour, about 30-45 seconds.
  2. In a different bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, maple syrup if using, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until combined, leaving some lumps.
  4. Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes so it thickens.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or coconut oil.
  6. Ladle roughly 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the pan.
  7. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges firm up.
  8. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they turn golden and are cooked through.
  9. Continue with the rest of the batter, adjusting heat as needed, making about 8-10 pancakes.
  10. Serve warm with toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or maple syrup as desired.

Notes

  • The batter texture may change depending on the protein powder used
  • Add a little more milk if it becomes too thick or more oats or protein powder if too thin
  • Use a protein powder with a flavor you enjoy
  • Whey protein yields fluffier pancakes than plant-based options
  • Make sure the pan reaches medium heat before cooking for best results
  • The batter will thicken as it rests
  • thin it with milk if needed for the last pancakes
