Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 cup oats blended into flour
1 scoop protein powder whey or plant-based
1 tbsp baking powder for leavening
1/2 tsp salt to enhance flavor

Wet Ingredients

1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
2 large eggs room temperature
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for sweetness
1 tsp vanilla extract for flavor

For Cooking

1 tbsp coconut oil or butter for greasing the skillet

Instructions

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, blend the oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a flour-like consistency. This will serve as the base for your pancakes.
Add the protein powder, baking powder, and salt to the oat flour. Whisk together until evenly combined.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined. This mixture will add moisture and flavor to the pancakes.

Combine Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the coconut oil or butter and let it melt.
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve

Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

For a fluffier texture, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. You can also add mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter if desired.
