Banana Protein Pancakes
Because these pancakes are made with oats instead of flour, they are naturally more tender than traditional pancakes. Keeping them small makes them easier to flip and helps them cook evenly.

- 1 banana

- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Place the banana, oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 3–5 minutes so the oats can hydrate.
- Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour small rounds of batter onto the skillet.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the edges begin to set and bubbles appear.
- Flip carefully and cook for 1–2 minutes more, until cooked through.
- Serve warm.
Gourmet Geek Tip
If the batter becomes too thick after resting, stir in 1–2 Tbsp milk before cooking. | Cook over medium heat to prevent the outside from browning before the center is done. | Serve with fresh berries, sliced banana, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
