These fluffy protein-packed banana oat pancakes with blueberries are a quick, easy, and wholesome breakfast option that balances natural sweetness with satisfying texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats, blended into oat flour
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) protein powder, vanilla or unflavored
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk, dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • Coconut oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats into a blender or food processor and pulse until you get a fine, flour-like texture.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together.
  3. In another bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until smooth with some small lumps left. Add 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir gently until just combined. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk.
  5. Gently fold 1/2 cup (75 g) blueberries into the batter.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  8. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. Serve warm with extra blueberries or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats if gluten-sensitive. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and coconut oil. Avoid overmixing batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if cooking in batches.
