Description

Delicious and nutritious pancakes packed with protein and the cozy flavor of apples and cinnamon, perfect for a quick breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 an apple, grated
  • 1 egg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: Maple syrup or honey, chopped nuts, chopped apples or banana slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oats: Blend the rolled oats until you get a fine flour-like consistency.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix your milk, grated apple, and egg.
  4. Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Heat the Griddle: Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip.
  7. Finishing Touches: Once golden brown, keep pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.

Notes

These pancakes can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
