Equipment

  • Blender
  • nonstick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • sea salt pinch
  • ground cinnamon pinch
  • 1/4 cup unflavored or vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
  • blueberries or chocolate chips for topping

Instructions
 

  • Add the rolled oats, ripe banana, whole eggs, liquid egg whites, baking powder, a pinch of sea salt, a pinch of ground cinnamon, protein powder, and ground flaxseed meal to a blender.
  • Blend on medium-low until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little coconut oil.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. If using, sprinkle a few blueberries or chocolate chips onto each pancake now.
  • Cook until the edges appear set and the bottom is golden, about 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and better texture.
  • Adjust batter thickness with a splash of milk if too thick.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning before the center cooks.
