The Best Protein Pancakes
The Best Protein Pancakes combine oats, banana, eggs, protein powder, and flaxseed meal to create a filling and nutritious breakfast option. The batter is blended smooth, then cooked on a griddle resulting in pancakes with a tender interior and lightly crisp edges. Optional blueberries or chocolate chips add bursts of sweetness. These pancakes provide a mix of texture from the oats and moisture from the ripe banana, making them a hearty choice for a morning meal or brunch.
