A hearty breakfast featuring thick, golden protein pancakes topped with creamy yogurt, fresh fruit, nuts, and a sweet drizzle.
# Step-by-Step:
01 - Combine the oats, protein powder, egg, egg whites, almond milk, half the banana, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, Greek yogurt (if using), sweetener, and salt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. The batter should be pourable but slightly thick. If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons more milk; if too thin, add 1–2 tablespoons oats or extra protein powder.
02 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add coconut oil or butter and swirl to coat. When hot (a drop of water sizzles), reduce heat to medium-low.
03 - Pour all the batter into the skillet to form a large, thick pancake, or make 2–3 smaller ones. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the edges set and small bubbles appear. Carefully flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until the center is set and the pancake is golden brown. Lower heat if browning too quickly.
04 - Transfer pancake(s) to a wide bowl. Cut into bite-size pieces if desired. Top with Greek yogurt or skyr, swirling in honey or maple syrup if desired. Arrange banana slices and berries over the top. Sprinkle with nuts/seeds and granola. Drizzle with nut butter (warm with a little water if needed to make pourable), and finish with extra honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, or cocoa nibs.
05 - Enjoy immediately while the pancake is warm and the toppings are cool and creamy. Mix everything together before eating for the perfect bite.
