Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup protein powder
- 2 cups almond milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a high-powered blender, combine rolled oats, protein powder, almond milk, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no oat chunks remain.
- Allow the blended batter to rest for 2-3 minutes to let the oats fully absorb the liquid and thicken slightly.
- Pour the batter evenly across the prepared sheet pan, using a spatula to spread it to the edges and create an even layer, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown around the edges and firm in the center when lightly touched.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before cutting into squares or rectangles.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of additional protein powder.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, reheating in the microwave or toaster oven before serving.
Tips
- Blending is Key: Use a high-powered blender to ensure a completely smooth batter without any oat chunks. This guarantees a consistent texture throughout your pancake.
- Resting Time Matters: Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes after blending. This helps the oats absorb liquid and creates a better pancake consistency.
- Even Spreading Technique: Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly, aiming for a consistent 1/4 inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
- Customize Your Protein: Experiment with different protein powder flavors like vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored to match your taste preferences.
- Meal Prep Friendly: These pancakes can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, making them perfect for busy mornings.
- Topping Variations: Get creative with toppings! Try fresh berries, nut butter, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup to enhance flavor and nutrition.
