Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk plus more as needed
  • 1 medium very ripe banana
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil plus more for the pan
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whole rolled oats
  • 2 scoops protein powder (about ¾ cup, I use 365 Organic Pea Protein, Unflavored)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Blender or food processor
  • Non-stick Skillet or Griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by blending the whole rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine flour-like consistency.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the very ripe banana until smooth. Add the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, avocado oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a little avocado oil.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter. Serve warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat pancakes in the microwave or toaster before serving.
