Calories 93kcal
Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 large skillet or griddle
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy free if needed)
- 1 ½ cups rolled/old-fashioned oats (certified gluten free if needed)
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. fine sea salt
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp. chocolate protein powder
- 3 tbsp. cacao powder
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat a frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Add all ingredients, starting with milk, to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until fully mixed, oats are blended and the batter is smooth.
- Lightly grease pan/skillet. Using about ¼ cup of batter, scoop batter onto the preheated skillet. Cook until edges are set and middle is bubbly. Flip and cook for an additional minute. Repeat until all batter has been used.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate or platter. If not serving right away, cover with tinfoil to retain heat.
Notes
- Use avocado oil spray or butter for greasing the pan.
- These are best served right away.
- I recommend organic oats.
- If using non-dairy milk, look for milk with just the source of milk, plus water and maybe salt (ex: almonds, water, salt). If using cow's milk, I recommend organic whole milk.
- Using cacao powder increases the nutrients and adds antioxidants to these pancakes. If you don't have cacao, cocoa can be used.
