Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (135g) rolled oats
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 scoop (30g or about 1/4 cup) vanilla whey protein powder or another favorite flavor
3 large eggs
1/2 cup (120g) plain greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or use melted butter or another oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Place the oats in a blender and blend until they turn into a fine powder, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add the baking powder, protein powder, eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup to the blender. Secure the lid and blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Lightly grease a nonstick pan and heat it over medium heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving enough space between them to allow for spreading. Repeat with additional batter as needed.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form and begin to pop, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown. Transfer each finished pancake to a plate and serve right away with maple syrup and fresh fruit, if desired. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet with additional butter as needed.

Notes

A flavored whey protein powder, such as vanilla, works best for this recipe. Vegan protein powders, like pea protein, have a different texture and flavor and may require thinning with a bit of milk.
