Ingredients

▢ 2 eggs
▢ 1 cup rolled oats
▢ 1 small banana
▢ 20 grams plain protein powder or vanilla flavor, see notes
▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ ½ teaspoon baking powder
▢ ¼ teaspoon baking soda
▢ ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
▢ pinch of salt

Instructions

Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place the egg whites into a mixing bowl.
Place the egg yolks, rolled oats, banana, protein powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into a food processor or blender and process until completely blended.
Use an electric hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks, 2-3 minutes. Gently fold the ingredients together until fully combined.
Grease a non-stick pan and heat over medium heat. Scoop out ¼ cup portions of pancake batter onto the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Reheat for 30 second intervals in the microwave until heated through.

Notes

If you want a super smooth batter, use pre-made oat flour instead of rolled oats.
If you want to make gluten free protein pancakes, make sure to check the label of your rolled oats packaging to ensure they are in fact gluten free.
This recipe has been tested with a flavorless collagen protein powder and a vanilla whey protein powder. Make sure to look at the label on your protein powder container to see how many grams 1 serving is, as each protein powder is different.
If you want to skip whipping the egg whites, the pancakes will still taste great. The air in the whipped egg whites helps to make the pancakes as fluffy as possible.
