Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats (50 g)
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (30 g)*
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ small–medium ripe banana (about 50 g), mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk*

For Cooking

  • Oil or butter, for the pan

Optional Toppings

  • Maple syrup
  • Sliced banana
  • Berries
  • Chocolate chips
  • Nut butter

Instructions

  1. Make oat flour
    Add rolled oats to a blender and blend for 10–15 seconds until they turn into a flour-like texture.
  2. Mix dry ingredients
    In a small bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well.
  3. Mix wet ingredients
    In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the egg and milk and mix until combined.
  4. Make the batter
    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix until smooth and lump-free.
    The batter should be thick. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Cook the pancakes
    Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over low to medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter.
    Scoop batter using a ¼-cup measure and cook pancakes for 3–4 minutes, until small bubbles form around the edges.
    Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve & enjoy
    Remove from the pan and top with your favorite toppings.

Additional Notes

  • Protein Power: This recipe packs about 37g protein per serving when made with whey protein.
  • Texture Tip: Don’t overmix—this keeps the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Sweetness: The banana adds natural sweetness, no added sugar needed.

Protein Powder Adjustments

  • Whey Protein
    • Use ¼ cup (30 g) protein powder
    • Use ¼ cup milk
    • Pancakes will be slightly drier but very fluffy
  • Plant-Based Protein
    • Use 3 tbsp (30 g) protein powder
    • Use ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp milk
    • Pancakes will be more moist and still fluffy

Variations

  • Gluten-Free: Naturally gluten-free when using certified GF oats
  • Chocolate Chip: Add 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • Extra Fiber: Add 1 tsp chia or flaxseed
