EASY PROTEIN PANCAKES

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

METHOD:

STEP 1

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.

STEP 2

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.
