Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats

- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions
- Throw the oats into a blender. Blend until you have oat flour, about 30 seconds. No magic required.
- Add protein powder, banana, Greek yogurt, egg, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and milk to the blender. Blend until smooth. If it looks like pancake batter, you’re on the right track!
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Give it a quick spritz of cooking spray or add a dab of oil.
- Pour in some batter to form a pancake about 4 inches in diameter. Go big or go home, right?
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. It’s like watching alchemy happen!
- Repeat with remaining batter. This recipe should make about 3-4 pancakes, depending on your pouring skills.

- Garnishing Options: Fresh fruits, nuts, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey. Because, let’s face it, pancakes need their bling.
- Cooking Tips: If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too runny, add a sprinkle of oat flour. Channel your inner Goldilocks.
