Protein Pancakes:

These protein-packed pancakes made with banana, oats, and protein powder make for a wholesome breakfast that keeps you fueled all day!

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate works best)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Optional toppings: fresh fruit, syrup, or nut butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
   • In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe banana, oats, protein powder, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and the mixture is thick and pancake-batter consistency.
2. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
   • Pour the pancake batter onto the skillet, about 1/4 cup per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
3. Serve:
   • Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a spoonful of nut butter.

Tips & Variations :

• Consistency: If your batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
• Toppings: Try adding a spoonful of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess, or sprinkle with chia seeds for added texture.
• Flavor variations: Add cinnamon, cocoa powder, or a handful of berries into the batter for a twist on flavor!

Enjoy your meal!
