Method
 

Main Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients (protein powder, rolled oats, egg, banana, baking powder, and milk) to a blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the batter is completely smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  2. Let the batter rest in the blender for 5-10 minutes. This helps the oats absorb the liquid and results in fluffier pancakes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or a bit of oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Tip 1: The type of protein powder can affect batter consistency. If using a plant-based powder, you might need an extra 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
Tip 2: Don't have the heat too high! Protein pancakes can burn faster than regular ones.
Tip 3: For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the blender.
