by

Blender Protein Pancakes are a wonderful option for a balanced breakfast or a satisfying snack. These pancakes are soft on the inside, lightly golden on the outside, and full of comforting flavor. Using a blender makes the process quick and smooth, with minimal cleanup. Everything blends together into a creamy batter that cooks evenly and produces fluffy pancakes every time. This recipe is perfect for busy mornings, relaxed weekends, or meal prep for the week ahead.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • 1 ripe banana

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • 1 scoop vanilla or plain protein powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • A small amount of oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

Start by adding the rolled oats to your blender. Blend for about 15–20 seconds until the oats turn into a fine flour. This step helps create a smooth pancake texture. Next, add the banana, eggs, milk, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend again until the mixture looks creamy and well combined. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend briefly once more.

Let the batter rest in the blender for 2–3 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb moisture, which improves the final texture. While the batter rests, place a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with oil or butter.

Pour small amounts of batter onto the warm pan to form pancakes. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Gently flip and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until lightly golden. Repeat until all batter is used.

Serving Ideas

Serve these pancakes warm with fresh fruit such as blueberries or sliced bananas. A drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or nut butter adds extra comfort and flavor. Yogurt or cottage cheese on the side also pairs beautifully.

Helpful Tips

  • For thicker pancakes, reduce the milk slightly.

  • For thinner pancakes, add a splash more milk.

  • You can store cooked pancakes in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat gently.

These Blender Protein Pancakes are simple, filling, and enjoyable, making them a lovely addition to your everyday cooking routine.
