Ingredients

1 cup oat flour or blended oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg or flax egg for vegan
¾ cup milk of choice I did homemade almond
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 mashed banana

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix mashed banana (or yogurt), egg, milk, and vanilla.
Gently mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined (don’t overmix!).
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour small scoops of batter and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form.
Stack them up and top with berries, butter, and maple syrup!

Notes

Vegan Option: Use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed plus 3 tablespoons water, rested 5 minutes) and a plant-based milk.

Banana Swap: Replace the mashed banana with ¼ cup yogurt or applesauce.

Protein Powder: A vanilla plant-based or whey protein powder without artificial sweeteners or thickeners gives the best texture.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze, then reheat in the toaster.
