Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 banana
75g oats
3 large eggs
2 tbsp milk (dairy, soya, oat or nut milks all work)
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch of cinnamon
2 tbsp protein powder (whey, pea or whatever your preference)
coconut oil, or a flavourless oil, for frying
nut butter, maple syrup and berries or sliced banana to serve

Steps:

Whizz the banana, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon and protein powder in a blender for 1-2 mins until smooth. Check the oats have broken down, if not, blend for another minute.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan. Pour or ladle in 2-3 rounds of batter, leaving a little space between each to spread. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the underside is golden. Flip over and cook for another minute until cooked through. Transfer to a warmed oven and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve in stacks with nut butter, maple syrup and fruit.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
Mash the bananas well. This will help to create a smooth batter.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
Use a non-stick skillet or griddle. This will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best served hot and fresh.
