Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats (or 3/4 cup oat flour)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (25-30g, whey or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature preferred)
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (unsweetened almond milk works well)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla recommended)
  • Cooking spray or coconut oil (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Blend Dry Ingredients: Add oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a blender and blend on high for 30-45 seconds until flour-like.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined and frothy.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour wet ingredients into the blender with dry mixture and pulse 3-4 times until just combined.
  4. Let the Batter Rest: Allow batter to rest for 5-10 minutes, adjusting consistency with milk if needed.
  5. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat (325-350°F) and grease lightly.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the pan, cooking about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Keep Warm: Keep cooked pancakes warm on a plate covered with foil as you prepare the remaining batter.

Notes

Serve with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or Greek yogurt. Use room temperature ingredients for fluffier pancakes.
