A delicious and healthy Protein Pancake Stack recipe made with rolled oats, protein powder, and ripe banana, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or post-workout meal. These pancakes are fluffy, flavorful, and easy to prepare using simple ingredients blended together and cooked on the stovetop.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

For Cooking

  • Cooking spray or oil (for the pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine rolled oats, protein powder, mashed banana, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken, allowing the oats to absorb some liquid for better texture.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  3. Assemble the Stack: Once all pancakes are cooked, stack them neatly on a plate. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or maple syrup to enhance the flavor and nutrition.
  4. Enjoy: Serve the warm protein pancake stack immediately and savor a wholesome, satisfying meal that fuels your day.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with oat flour for a finer texture.
  • Use plant-based milk to make the recipe vegan, but ensure the protein powder is vegan-friendly.
  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheat before serving.
  • Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors such as chocolate or berry for variety.
  • Adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract can enhance the flavor.
