# Steps:

01 - Combine oats, protein powder, egg, egg whites, almond milk, half banana, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and salt in blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Batter should be pourable but slightly thick. Adjust consistency with 1–2 tablespoons milk if too thick or 1–2 tablespoons oats if too thin.
02 - Heat nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add coconut oil or butter and swirl to coat. When water drop sizzles, reduce heat to medium-low.
03 - Pour batter into skillet forming one large thick pancake or 2–3 smaller ones. Cook 3–4 minutes until edges set and bubbles appear. Carefully flip and cook 2–3 minutes until center sets and golden brown. Lower heat if browning too quickly.
04 - Transfer pancakes to wide bowl, cut into bite-size pieces if desired. Top with Greek yogurt, swirling in honey or maple syrup. Arrange banana slices and berries. Sprinkle nuts, seeds, and granola. Drizzle with nut butter warmed slightly with water for pourable consistency. Finish with extra honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, or cocoa nibs.
05 - Serve immediately while pancakes are warm and toppings cool. Mix everything together before eating for combined flavors.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the comfort of fluffy pancakes without standing over a hot stove flipping twelve tiny cakes
  • The warm pancake pieces against cool creamy yogurt creates the most incredible temperature and texture contrast
  • One bowl delivers over 30 grams of protein but tastes like dessert for breakfast
02 -
  • Protein powder varies wildly in sweetness so always start with less sweetener and add more to taste
  • The pancake will continue cooking slightly after you remove it from the pan so do not overcook or it becomes dry
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for the fluffiest texture
03 -
  • If your pancake sticks to the pan your heat is too high or you need more oil
  • Overripe bananas blend easier and add more natural sweetness than firm ones
