These fluffy protein-packed banana oat pancakes are flourless, easy to make, and perfect for a nourishing breakfast or brunch. They combine ripe bananas, oats, eggs, and protein powder for a light, tender texture with a protein boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder (50g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (60ml)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • Cooking oil or butter for pan

Instructions

  1. Grind the oats in a blender or food processor until fine and flour-like, about 20-30 seconds.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  4. Add eggs, almond milk, and maple syrup (if using) to the mashed bananas and whisk until combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Batter should be thick but pourable; add more milk if too thick.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with oil or butter. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles on contact.
  7. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  8. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  9. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the rest. Serve immediately with desired toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender. Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness. If pancakes are too flat, check baking powder freshness and avoid pressing pancakes while cooking. For vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free milk.
