Ingredients

For the pancakes:

  • ½ cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • ½ ripe banana (mashed) or applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup
  • 4-6 tbsp unsweetened almond milk*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Topping ideas:

  • maple syrup duh!
  • butter a classic
  • peanut butter any nut or seed butter is delicious!
  • fresh fruit like berries
  • chocolate chips
  • yogurt
  • whipped cream

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg, mashed banana, vanilla extract, almond milk, and maple syrup.
  • Next, add the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Heat up the skillet as soon as the batter comes together.
  • In the greased or oiled skillet, turn on the heat to medium low. Add the pancake batter in 4-inch dollops. The mixture will make about 4-5 small pancakes. Feel free to add any fruit or chocolate before bubbles form on the outside of the pancakes. When the bubbles do form, flip immediately!
  • Once all the pancakes are done, stack em', add your favorite toppings, and ENJOY!

Notes

*The amount of milk added here depends on the how asorbant the protein powder is and your desired consistency. I like thicker pancakes so I only add about 2 tbsp of milk, but do whatever creates your idea pancake! 
*Store any leftovers in the refrigerator!
