These fluffy, protein-packed banana oat pancakes are naturally soft and thick, made without flour, perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast that keeps you full longer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • ½ cup protein powder (40g), vanilla or unflavored whey, pea, or plant-based
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup milk (180ml), any kind
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Coconut oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Make the oat flour: Place the rolled oats into your blender or food processor and pulse until you get a fine, flour-like consistency (about 30 seconds). Set aside.
  2. Mash the bananas: In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky (2-3 minutes).
  3. Mix wet ingredients: Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Fold dry into wet: Slowly add the dry mix into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk.
  6. Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add coconut oil or butter to coat the surface.
  7. Cook pancakes: Spoon about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes until bubbles appear and edges look set. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm: Stack pancakes and top with fresh fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup. Best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

Do not skip baking powder for fluffiness. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning. Flip gently with a flexible spatula. Overmixing can make texture gummy; lumps are okay. Vanilla-flavored whey protein preferred for flavor. For vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and protein powder.
