- 1/2 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder (25–30 grams)
- 1 medium ripe banana (approximately 3.5 ounces), divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt, optional
- Pinch of salt
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener of choice

Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In your blender, combine oats, protein powder, egg, egg whites, almond milk, half the banana, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, Greek yogurt if desired, sweetener, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Preheat the pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add coconut oil or butter and allow it to coat the surface.
- Cook the pancake: Pour the batter into the skillet, cooking until edges set and bubbles appear, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the bowl: Cut the pancake into pieces and top with Greek yogurt, sliced banana, fresh berries, nuts, and nut butter. Drizzle with honey or syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa nibs.
- Serve immediately and mix everything together before enjoying.
Notes
For meal prep, make the batter the night before. Can also try air frying or baking as alternatives for cooking the pancake.
