Ingredients
- 1. 1 and 3/4 cups of hearty rolled oats
- 2. 1/2 cup of versatile all-purpose flour
- 3. 2 scoops of protein powder for an extra boost
- 4. A tablespoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
- 5. 3 ripe bananas, broken into bite-sized chunks
- 6. 1 and a half cups of creamy milk
- 7. 6 large eggs for richness
- 8. 1/2 cup of golden brown sugar
- 9. A spoonful of fragrant vanilla extract
- 10. 1/2 cup of decadent semisweet chocolate chips
- 11. A dollop of butter, or as needed
Step 1
Combine oats, flour, protein powder, and a dash of cinnamon in a mixing bowl for a wholesome base. In a separate blender, blend ripe bananas, milk, eggs, rich brown sugar, and fragrant vanilla extract until velvety smooth. Gradually introduce the oat mixture into the banana blend while the blender whirs away, resulting in a lusciously smooth batter.
Step 2
Next, prepare a skillet or griddle over a gentle medium-low flame, adding a dollop of butter for a sumptuous touch. Ladle the batter onto the sizzling pan, aiming for around a quarter cup per pancake, and sprinkle with delightful chocolate chips for an indulgent twist. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges crisp up, typically taking 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and continue cooking until the other side achieves a golden finish, usually requiring an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your protein powder in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
- 2. Store ripe bananas in the freezer for quick and easy access when you're ready to make your pancakes.
- 3. Use a clear, glass jar to store your chocolate chips so you can easily see when you're running low.
