Ingredients:
- 1 cup oat flour (made from blending rolled oats)
- 1 scoop of your THE Salted caramel whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Add-ins such as blueberries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk until all the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If desired, gently fold in any add-ins you prefer, such as blueberries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
-
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
-
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the pancake batter onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
-
Serve your high protein pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Enjoy your delicious and protein-packed pancakes for a nutritious breakfast that will keep you fueled and satisfied!
