Healthy Banana Protein Pancakes

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup oats

2 tablespoons chia seeds

2 eggs

1/2 cup egg whites

1 large ripe banana

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (optional)

Directions

In a blender, mix together all of the ingredients until combined and smooth.

Preheat griddle to medium-high. Spray with cooking spray. Using a tablespoon, scoop pancake mixture on the pan so it forms a medium circle (use about 2 heaping tablespoons for each pancake).

Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side or until edges start to harden and bubbles start to form on surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.

Top with sliced banana, peanut butter, chocolate chips, coconut and maple syrup, if desired.
