Description
A delicious and healthy Protein Pancake Bowl perfect for breakfast, packed with nutrients and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit (such as bananas, berries, or apples) for topping
- Nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter) for drizzling
- Chopped nuts or seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, egg, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- To serve, stack pancakes in a bowl and top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of nut butter, and chopped nuts or seeds if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute the rolled oats with oat flour for a smoother texture.
- Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter for a chocolate-flavored pancake bowl.
