INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Rolled Oats (40g)
1 Medium Banana (split: half mashed, half sliced, 118g total)
1 Large Egg (50g)
1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (30g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (62g)
1/2 tsp Baking Powder (2g)
1/4 tsp Cinnamon (0.6g)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (5g)
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until a fine oat flour forms.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and blend well.
In a separate bowl, mash half of the banana until smooth. Add the egg, nonfat Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
Gently fold in the remaining half of the banana sliced into thin rounds, reserving a few slices for topping.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake into the skillet. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are golden.
Meanwhile, in a small pan, lightly warm the reserved banana slices over medium-low heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side to caramelize slightly.
Serve the pancakes warm with the caramelized banana slices on top. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of extra cinnamon for added flavor.
