Chocolate Banana Protein Pancakes
Protein-filled and refined sugar-free, these pnacakes are the perfect post-workout fuel. Cook up a batch and eat throughout the week for a yummy breakfast option!
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats, blended to flour in a blender
- 2 scoops of Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 organic eggs
- 1.25 cups Califia unsweetened coconut almond milk, if nut-free, unsweetened vanilla soy milk works well too!
- 1 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh work!
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp raw honey, or Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup if sugar-free
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Blend oats in a blender to make your own oat flour!
- Place banana and blueberries in a bowl and mash well.
- Add all ingredients and only 1.5 cups of blended oat flour. Mix well with a masher or electric beater, if you have one.
- If the batter is too liquidy (rolls off the spoon instead of slowly dripping) add more oat flour and beat with whisk, as necessary.
- Using a small pan and no oil (this part is critical for creating the perfect pancakes), turn the stove on to medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes.
- Then add a small amount of batter on medium heat and let sit on one side for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is solid, before flipping over to the other side for about 1-2 minutes.
- Optional: top with maple syrup, almond or peanut butter, extra berries, or sliced banana!
Notes
Make sure you don’t use too much batter for each “dollop” you place in the pan or else your pancakes will be too thick to turn over, won’t cook in the center, and will crumble (also small pancakes are cute, so even better!). If the bottom of the pancake is cooking too fast, just turn down to low-medium heat so that you don’t burn your pancakes! Each stove is different, so this is what worked with mine!
