PROTEIN OATMEAL BLENDER PANCAKES

These ultra-fluffy, protein-packed oatmeal blender pancakes make a perfect healthy breakfast! Made with simple ingredients like oat flour, Greek yogurt, eggs, and rolled oats, they contain no added sugars. Enjoy them fresh off the skillet or bake ahead for an easy meal prep option.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (2% or 5%)
  • ⅔ cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Optional mix-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, banana slices, fresh fruit, chia seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Blend the batter – Add all ingredients to a blender: eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, rolled oats, baking powder, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth (about 20–40 seconds).
  • Let it rest – Allow the batter to sit for 8 minutes while you heat the pan. You can transfer it to a mixing bowl or leave it in the blender.
  • Cook the pancakes – Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray. Pour ¼ to ⅓ cup of batter onto the pan, adding any desired mix-ins. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges set and bubbles appear on top. Flip gently and cook for another minute.
  • Serve & enjoy – Top with fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or honey.

Meal Prep Tip: If making a large batch, keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.

STORAGE & REHEATING

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes or microwave with a damp paper towel.
