Protein Oat Pancake

March 11, 2019 by Katie

For a simple breakfast made with whole ingredients, try this single-serving pancake that only uses three ingredients.

I’ve been all about the breakfast foods lately. Most days, I eat them in the morning and also for lunch because it’s just…easy. Plus, they’re all amazing, so it’s a win-win situation. Pancakes are one of those foods that I love but don’t actually make that much, because I don’t want a meal to consist of cake topped with liquid sugar.

I think traditional pancakes are great once in a great while, but I usually want more of a nutrient profile than what they offer. That’s when I started experimenting with different pancake variations that use real ingredients and offer me a bit more protein and whole grains—and a little less sugar.

The recipe I’m sharing today was the first official pancake recipe I shared on here—back in ol’ 2012, soon after starting this blog. I wanted to take some better pictures that did the single-serving recipe a bit more justice.

What I love about this recipe is how basic it is. It’s not quite as basic as my Two-Ingredient Pancakes recipe, but I find it to be easier to make so it might appeal to more people. The two-ingredient recipe is only eggs and a banana. This one, on the other hand, includes a third ingredient: quick-cook oats!

Every time I make this I feel really good about what I’m eating. There’s a good combo of fiber and protein, plus it’s a legit pancake-y base for whatever your favorite toppings are. I tend to put the rest of the banana (in slices) on top, plus almond butter or syrup (and sometimes walnuts if I’m feeling fancy).


I tried to capture a “texture” shot while taking pictures, so you could get an idea of what was going on inside. The oats help give this more structure, since the banana and egg are pretty wet ingredients. The oats help soak up some of the moisture, and the egg naturally helps the whole combo fluff up a bit.

I think this is a great alternative to traditional flour-based pancakes if you want a bit more staying power and general “oomph” to what you’re starting your morning with.

Protein Oat Pancake

Servings 1 Serving

Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup quick-cook oats
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Mash the banana in a bowl. Mix in the oats and egg until combined.
  • Spray a skillet with no-stick cooking spray. Turn heat to medium-low and pour mixture onto surface, spreading until about half-inch thickness.
  • Cook until the pancake has started to cook through (and the bottom turns gold-brown) and flip over. Cook for another minute or two. 
  • Serve with your favorite toppings.

I made this a single-serving recipe since I tend to just whip it up for myself, but obviously you can double it (or more) as needed. Hope you enjoy!!
