Easy Protein Pancakes

easy protein pancakesThis is one of my pre and post workout favorites! They are so easy to make and they keep well in an air tight container in the refrigerator – grab for some quick calories before an early morning workout or top with greek yogurt (not for vegans!) for an extra protein kick after a workout. I always make these once bananas start to get too ripe for my husband to eat (he likes them green). In the fall I like to substitute the banana for 1 cup of pumpkin plus 2 dates. So let’s get to it!


Ingredients (8 servings)
1 medium ripe banana
2 eggs
0.5 cups egg whites
1.5 scoops protein powder (I use Show Me the Whey Vanilla)
1 cup oats
Cinnamon, Vanilla (optional)
Greek yogurt (optional topping)


Instructions
Blend banana and eggs in a food processor. Add oats and optionally cinnamon and vanilla. Add a pat of coconut oil to a non stick pan over medium heat. Use 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Pancakes will start to bubble when they are ready to turn. Enjoy!
