Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour or cassava flour for a gluten-free flour option
  • 1/2 cup fine almond flour adds moisture and a nutty flavor
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour helps create the perfect texture
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or vegan protein powder adds extra protein content
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda helps create fluffy pancakes
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch or tapioca flour adds chewiness
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder for a chocolate twist
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or sugar-free sweetener

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas adds natural sweetness and moisture
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract enhances flavor

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • In a food processor, blend the wet ingredients until smooth.
  • Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry, stirring until a pancake batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add more non-dairy milk.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over low-medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  • Using a spoon or pancake ring, drop batter onto the skillet.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

  • Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate.
  • Add your favorite toppings like maple syrup, peanut butter, cottage cheese, or dark chocolate chips.
  • Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
