CHOCOLATE BANANA OATMEAL PANCAKES
Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Pancakes are flavored with raw cocoa powder and topped with macerated berries for a guilt-free breakfast.
When it comes to banishing hunger and ending snacking, protein and fiber are a dynamic duo. These pancakes pack plenty of the former, calling for both protein powder and eggs to fuel your busy morning, but they also add in something unexpected that we love: rolled oats.
Uncooked oats in pancakes may sound unseemly, but they hold an overlooked nutrient called resistant starch that aids weight loss, boosts post-meal calorie burn and even lowers your risk of cancer.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (1/4 cup)
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- diced strawberries
- honey
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Combine the eggs, bananas, oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, and cinnamon in a blender or food processor. Pulse for a few seconds until everything is smooth.
- Drop by 1/4 cup onto a hot skillet. Cook the first side until bubbles appear over the top of the pancake. Flip carefully and cook the other side about a minute. Serve hot with powdered sugar, and diced strawberries mixed with honey. Makes 8-10 pancakes. Keep leftover pancakes in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.
