Yields

6 servings

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Unsweetened shredded coconut flakes for serving (optional)

Instructions

Combine oats, almond flour, and baking powder in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until well combined.

In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, mashed banana, protein powder, honey, and cinnamon until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

The batter should still be slightly lumpy.

If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk. If it’s too thin, add a little more oats.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Grease with a small amount of oil or cooking spray if necessary. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet or griddle.

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry.

Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm, topped with unsweetened shredded coconut flakes if desired.

Notes

Make sure to use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. If using unsweetened shredded coconut flakes, sprinkle on top of pancakes before serving for a beautiful and tasty touch.

Don’t overmix the batter, as it will result in dense pancakes.

If the pancakes are too thick, add a little more almond milk. If they’re too thin, add a little more oats.

For an extra protein boost, use a higher protein content Greek yogurt.

You can also customize the flavor by using different types of protein powder, like chocolate or strawberry. To freeze, place cooked pancakes in an airtight container or freezer bag and reheat in the toaster or microwave when ready.
