Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup coconut milk can substitute with plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted but not hot (can substitute with melted butter or avocado oil)
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Add oats, salt, and baking powder into the jar of your kitchen blender or food processor. Blend together until powdery like consistency.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Blend until all nice, homogenous consistency.
  • If the dough seems to be on a thick side, add a tablespoon or two of milk. Make sure the dough isn’t super thick or else it will cause the pancakes to be dense.
  • Grease a nonstick pan with oil or butter.
  • Drop 2 tablespoons of butter onto the skillet. Or use an ice cream scoop that is about 2 tablespoons in size.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on one side. And about 1-2 minutes on the second.
  • Serve your pancakes warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and additional maple or honey syrup. Top with fresh fruits, if desired.

Notes

  • Blend Batter Smooth: Blend the batter until smooth to ensure a uniform consistency and better texture.
  • Preheat Skillet: Preheat your skillet over medium heat before adding the batter to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust: If the batter is too thick, add 1 Tablespoon of milk or water at a time to thin it out. If the batter is too thin, add 1 Tablespoon of ground oats or protein powder at a time to thicken it up.
