- Preheat griddle or skillet to medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Freezing Instructions: Cool the pancakes, then place them between layers of wax paper, then place in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the oven at 350ºF until they're hot and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of bananas, you can use 3/4 cup applesauce.
- Instead of protein powder, you an add more cocoa powder, and vice versa.
- To make this gluten-free, just make sure the oats are certified gluten free.
- To make it vegan, replace the eggs with flax egg.
