How to make 3 ingredient banana oat protein pancakes
These homemade 3 ingredient banana oatmeal pancakes are not only super delicious, but they are so easy to make! They are single serve, which makes them perfect for a quick breakfast. Here are step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: First, add all the ingredients into a blender and blend on high for 20 – 30 seconds until fully combined. Let the batter sit for 3 – 5 minutes (to thicken).
Step 2: Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan with nonstick spray.
Step 3: Next, pour about 1/4 – 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1 – 2 minutes until the edges are crisp and firm up. Since oat flour is denser than all-purpose flour, bubbles will not form on the tops of the pancakes. To check if they are ready to flip, gently lift with a spatula to see if bottoms are browning.
Step 4: Gently flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Don’t overcook them.
Serve your 3 ingredient protein pancakes immediately with banana slices, fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or honey!

These pancakes are really good! They were fluffy but also moist and soft. The banana flavor was nice and I liked that they were single serve. I will make these again this week.
