- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural peanut butter (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine rolled oats, protein powder, mashed banana, almond milk, baking powder, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
- Fold in the mixed berries gently to avoid breaking them.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of peanut butter and additional fresh berries on top.
