Scale
- 1 cup oat flour or blended rolled oats
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 egg or flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup if using.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour in batter to form pancakes, cooking 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a meal prep bowl. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Top each bowl with desired toppings. Let cool, then store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Make it dairy-free by using plant-based protein and yogurt alternatives.
- Freeze extra pancakes and reheat in a toaster or microwave.
- Add chia seeds or hemp hearts for extra nutrients.
- Mix toppings in just before eating to keep them fresh and crisp.
