Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats or quick oats; do not use steel-cut or instant oats
- 2 Very Large Bananas about 1½ cups mashed
- 0.33 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 Large Egg
- 0.75 cup Liquid Egg Whites
- 0.5 cup Vanilla or Chocolate Protein Powder about two scoops
- 1.5 tsp Baking Powder aluminum-free recommended
- 0.75 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Kosher Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- Butter or Oil for cooking
Instructions
- If you’d like to keep the pancakes warm between batches, preheat the oven to 200°F. Place the oats in the bottom of a blender. Pulse a few times to grind.
- Add the bananas in a few chunks, Greek yogurt, whole egg, liquid egg whites, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- Blend on high speed, stopping to scrape down the blender a few times as needed, until the batter is super smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes depending upon your blender. Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high (400°F). Brush lightly with olive oil or melt a little butter in the pan. Pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls (use a measuring cup and leave some room for them to spread) onto the heated griddle and cook for 3 minutes on the first side, until the edges look dry and some bubbles form on top. Flip and continue to cook for 1 to 2 additional minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil to the pan between batches as needed. Transfer the pancakes to the oven to keep warm between batches until ready to serve, if desired. Serve warm with desired toppings.
