Quick, healthy, and filling banana oat pancakes packed with protein, perfect for busy mornings and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, finely ground into oat flour
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (30g) protein powder, vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk, dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking oil or butter for the pan (e.g., avocado oil)

Instructions

  1. Grind the oats in a blender or food processor until fine oat flour forms, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  3. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until uniform.
  4. Add oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb moisture.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
  8. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set to low heat while cooking remaining batter.
  10. Serve immediately or let cool completely before storing for meal prep.

Notes

If pancakes are dense, add a splash more milk to loosen batter. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Cook pancakes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based protein and milk.
