You literally just throw everything in the blender and they're ready to pour onto the pan (made in under 15 minutes).
IT'S EVERYONES FAVOURITE BREAKFAST!
Okay maybe it's just me...
Pancakes make my heart skip a beat - especially when they're protein packed and topped with the most addictive drug in the world.
My drug of choice = peanut butter
I was looking for higher protein options for breakfast that aren't loaded with meat/dairy/wheat/eggs... And I was having a hard time finding recipe
These are the perfect way to fuel my intense leg days at the gym and have a crazy 32grams of protein. Also - no refined grains - special shout out to oats on that one. Lots and lots and lots of protein-y goodness.
So decadent, so rich and filling too!
Seriously, like, just try to look at this and tell me it doesn’t look good to you.

Waiting...
Totally #fitspo / #eatingfortheinsta / #foodporn worthy.
And then you can also brag to your friends that this is also healthy/vegan/gluten free...
So it's really a win-win-win-win situation. There's no losing anywhere (I'm a very competitive person if you can't tell).
That being said - this is NOT a low carb recipe - I repeat - this is NOT low carb.
So if thats what you're looking for then maybe you should go eat some lettuce or something... Kidding... Kind of...
But hey, we're here for gym gains right? And that means we need lots of carbs before the gym.
While this took me about 15 minutes total, the cooking time and consistency may vary depending on your protein powder. I use the Vega Sport in Vanilla, which is a bit pricey but it's a great tasting plant-based protein powder.
What's great about this is that you can totally customize it each time you make it. The base is super simple and let's you add in whatever you want.
Feeling like chocolate pancakes for breakfast? Go for it! (see above).
Feeling more like indulging in the health benefits of turmeric? You can do that too! (see below).
Yes I still put peanut butter on the different kinds of pancakes - because lets be honest - what CAN'T you put peanut butter on?
No seriously.

The best part of waking up is not Folgers... it's these pancakes...
See what I did there?
Okay moving on...
SUPER EASY PROTEIN PANCAKES
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 of a banana
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
Crunchy peanut butter, for topping
ADD-INS
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp cinnamon
Blueberries, strawberries
Matcha powder
Honey/maple syrup for topping
INSTRUCTIONS
In the blender, combine the oats, protein powder, banana, baking powder, and almond milk (and any other add-ins). Blend until combined. It should be pourable and shouldn't be super think.
Heat a small pan on medium heat on the stove. Drizzle with a little oil (if not non-stick).
Pour batter into 3 inch rounds and cook until little bubbles form (about 2 minutes). Flip and cook on the other side.
Place on a plate and drizzle with copious amounts of peanut butter, and any other additional toppings you desire.
Serve immediately.
NOTES
You can also substitute the peanut butter for another type of nut/seed butter.
Cooking time and consistency may vary depending on your protein powder. If you find that your batter is too runny, you can add more oats or protein powder.
