Easy Protein Pancakes

Ingredients

• ½ cup Rolled Oats
• ½ whole Banana
• ½ cup Unsweetened Plant-based Milk
• ½ cup Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder
• 1 ½ tsp Maple Syrup
• 1 ½ tsp Canola Oil
• ½ tsp Baking Powder
• ½ tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
• ¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

1. Add rolled oats, banana, plant-based milk, protein powder, maple syrup, canola oil, baking powder, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
2. Let the batter rest for 2 to 3 minutes so the oats can absorb the liquid and the batter thickens slightly. It will be thicker than traditional pancake batter — that is normal.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of canola oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake and gently spread to about 4 inches wide.
4. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges look set and small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Season with a pinch of salt to taste if desired. Repeat with remaining batter.
5. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or nut butter.
