These fluffy high-protein banana oat pancakes are made without added sugar, offering a wholesome, nourishing breakfast that is quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder (30g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice (60ml), unsweetened almond milk recommended
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Coconut oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they reach a fine, flour-like texture (about 30 seconds). Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined (1-2 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently to combine. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay. The batter should be thick but pourable. If too thick, add a splash more milk (about 1 tablespoon at a time).
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little coconut oil or butter. Wait until hot but not smoking.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, watching for bubbles to form on the surface and edges to set.
  8. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or low oven while you finish the batch.
  10. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to eat.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Medium heat works best to avoid burning or drying out pancakes. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based protein powder and milk.
