Ingredients

For the Pancakes

1 cup rolled oats
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
1 banana
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

For the Blueberry Compote

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp lemon juice

Mix all the ingredients well before cooking.

Instructions

Make the Blueberry Compote

In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, honey, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the blueberries break down, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a blender, add the rolled oats, protein powder, banana, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Cook the Pancakes

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve

Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with the warm blueberry compote. Enjoy your delicious protein-packed breakfast!

Feel free to add toppings like yogurt or nuts for extra flavor!

Storage Tips

To keep your Protein Pancakes fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or toast them for a crispier texture.

If you decide to freeze your pancakes, separate each one with parchment paper before placing them in a freezer bag. This prevents them from sticking together, making it easy to grab just what you need for a quick breakfast.

Nutritional Benefits

These pancakes are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients. The rolled oats provide complex carbohydrates, ensuring a steady release of energy throughout the morning. The protein powder contributes to muscle repair and growth, making this recipe perfect for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, particularly vitamin C and K, which support immune function and overall health. Combined with the natural sweetness from the banana and honey, this meal is both satisfying and beneficial for your body.

Serving Suggestions

While the blueberry compote is a fantastic topping, don’t hesitate to get creative. Consider serving your pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein. A sprinkle of nuts or seeds can also enhance flavor and crunch, making your breakfast even more delightful.

For those who enjoy a bit of decadence, a drizzle of nut butter or a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips can turn these pancakes into a special treat. Pairing your pancakes with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie can round out your meal and provide additional vitamins and minerals.
