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.
