Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup mixed fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare Oat Flour: Add the rolled oats to a blender and blend until a fine flour forms, ensuring a smooth pancake texture.
- Mix Batter: Add the vanilla protein powder, mashed banana, egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend all ingredients until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Cook Pancake Bowl: Pour the batter into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 2 to 2.5 minutes until the pancake sets and becomes fluffy. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through.
- Add Toppings: Once cooked, top the pancake bowl with 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter and 1/4 cup of mixed fresh berries. Serve warm immediately for best taste.
Notes

- Feel free to substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or regular milk.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
