Hello everyone, and good morning!!!
I hope your Saturday isn’t as cloudy as mine right now, but have I got good news for you……

These pancakes can be made in about 5 minutes!:)

I usually attend yoga on Saturday mornings and I don’t usually eat anything before. By the time I get home, I don’t really want to wait a half an hour for a baked oatmeal recipe or have to wait, watch, and stir a stovetop oatmeal recipe. Pancakes cook themselves, so why not right? All I have to do is mix the batter!

  • For this recipe, you’ll need your immersion blender (if you have one). If you don’t, that’s okay! Your pancakes will just be more textured than normal due to the oats.
  • Use your favorite blend of protein powder: vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon bun, cake, banana cream, orange creamsicle, etc. There’s a lot of wonderful and interesting flavors out there! If you don’t have protein powder or would rather leave it out, add a 1/4 cup more oats and perhaps some PB2? Mashed banana could be nice too! I can’t vouch for the results, but if you try it, please let me know!
  • Don’t forget that vanilla extract! It adds a lot of that wonderful fragrance and flavor we all love in our baking. You could also experiment with other extracts too! Almond, butter, coconut, orange, lemon, you name it!
  • Cooking times may vary from stove to stove, so judge accordingly.
  • Most of all, enjoy!!! The kitchen was made for experimentation, so don’t worry if it doesn’t turn out exactly the way I explain it.

5-Minute, 5-Ingredient Protein Pancakes

  • Serves: 1
  • Prep Time: 2 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients:
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp. flaxseed (I used Bob’s Red Mill brand)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (or flavor of choice)
6 tbsp. Liquid Egg Whites (or 2 normal egg whites)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or flavor of choice)
1 tsp peanut butter (or other nut butter)
*Sweetener of choice, if needed*
Maple syrup, for topping

Directions:

  1. Preheat skillet to medium heat and mist with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In an immersion blender, whir all of the ingredients together until smooth. Or, feel free to mix by hand if you don’t have a blender.
  3. Pour about 2 tbsp. of batter for each pancake and cook for 2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the top. Flip, and cook for another minute or so.
  4. Repeat until all of the batter is used up, and top with maple syrup, honey, or more peanut butter! Dive in.
  5. ENJOY!:)

 **NOTE: They have a bit of an egg-y taste, so to combat that, I would add some milk and/or sweetener to the batter!**
