Pancakes are an incredibly simple and delicious breakfast. They are also a great way to pack some protein in, as having a protein-loaded breakfast is great for feeling satisfied and energized for your day! These pancakes come together in minutes and are sure to be delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cup oats
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 scoop protein powder
  • 1 cup strawberries

Instructions:

  1. Blend your oats in a blender until you get a flour-like consistency. 
  2. Add your banana, plant-based milk, and protein powder into the blender with the blended oats. Blend until it forms a thick consistency. Do not overmix or your pancake mix will be runny. If it becomes too thin, you can add some more oats to thicken. 
  3. Cut your strawberries into small pieces. Fold into the pancake batter. Do not over-mix.
  4. Heat up butter on a frying pan with medium heat. Once the butter covers the entire pan, add your batter, making pancakes of whatever size you prefer. 
  5. When the bottom is golden brown, flip and repeat on the other side. Continue this until you use the entire batter. 
  6. Eat right away or freeze in an air-tight container for a quick breakfast during the week!
