Protein Pancakes

Ingredients


  • banana
  • 75g oats
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk (dairy, soya, oat or nut milks all work)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp protein powder (whey, pea or whatever your preference)
  • Coconut oil, or a flavourless oil, for frying
  • Nut butter, maple syrup and berries or sliced banana to serve



Method

  1. Whizz the banana, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon and protein powder in a blender for 1-2 mins until smooth. Check the oats have broken down, if not, blend for another minute.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan. Pour or ladle in 2-3 rounds of batter, leaving a little space between each to spread. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the underside is golden. Flip over and cook for another minute until cooked through. Transfer to a warmed oven and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve in stacks with nut butter, maple syrup and fruit.
