Banana oatmeal protein pancakes with Greek yogurt glaze are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. These pancakes are packed with protein and fiber, providing sustained energy for your morning activities. Perfect for a post-workout meal or a hearty breakfast, this recipe combines the natural sweetness of bananas, the wholesomeness of oatmeal, and the creaminess of Greek yogurt, making it both healthy and satisfying.
Instructions:
- Blend or process the multi-grain oatmeal until it reaches a flour-like consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oatmeal, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1 scoop of whey protein powder.
- In a separate bowl, mash the 1/2 banana until smooth.
- Add the 4 egg whites to the mashed banana and whisk until well combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the banana and egg mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. If necessary, lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Once hot, pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of Greek yogurt and 1 scoop of whey protein powder until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding a small amount of water or milk if needed to achieve a glaze-like texture.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle the Greek yogurt glaze generously over the top.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and presentation.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness in your pancakes.
- Make sure to blend the oatmeal into a fine flour consistency for a smoother batter.
- Preheat your skillet or griddle and cook the pancakes on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks for extra fluffy pancakes.
- Customize your pancakes by adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a handful of blueberries to the batter.
- For a thicker Greek yogurt glaze, strain the yogurt using a cheesecloth before mixing it with protein powder.
