Healthy Oatmeal Protein Pancakes Recipes

OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you'd like to keep the pancakes warm between batches, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Place the oil, Greek yogurt, milk, 1 1/4 cups oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a blender.
• Blend until the batter is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Continue blending until you don't see any remaining bits of oats.
• Stop the blender, stirring the remaining 3/4 cup oats and any desired mix-ins. Do not blend again. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you heat the skillet/griddle and prep any toppings.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan if needed (some nonstick pans do not need this).
• Once the skillet is hot, drop the batter by 1/4 cupful into the pan. Let cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until the pancakes look dry at the edges and small bubbles form on top.
• Gently flip, then cook on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes. They should look golden on both sides. If desired, transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven between batches. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve hot with desired toppings.

OATMEAL PROTEIN PANCAKES (NO PROTEIN POWDER!)

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients to a blender and combine until they form a smooth batter. It could take a couple of minutes for the oatmeal to break down and form a smooth batter. For lower power blenders, blend the oats first and then add the remaining ingredients.
• Using a quarter cup measure, pour the batter into a medium high heat pan sprayed with cooking spray and flip once the batter begins to bubble and pop.
• Cook for another 1-2 minutes and serve with your favorite pancake toppings.
• *If you usually like a sweeter pancake batter, consider adding a touch of brown sugar, Stevia, agave, or honey to your batter.

HEALTHY OATMEAL "PROTEIN PANCAKES"

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and pour batter into pan. Cook until golden brown on medium to medium high heat about 5 minutes per side. Just watch it until it gets golden brown and make sure you don't cook it at too high of heat so that the center doesn't cook all the way through!
• My favorite way to eat this is with about a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and about 1/4 a cup of REAL maple syrup. I know that there are "sugar free" syrups out there and this would only add to the low fat/low cal of this recipe, but I like to eat REAL ingredients! But if you are into the whole sugar free thing than go for it! But the peanut butter and maple syrup is to die for! Enjoy!
