100 mL milk (light dairy, light soy, oat, or nut milks)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon

Method
Step 1
Blend all dry ingredients (oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, sweetener, xanthan gum) in a blender for 60 secs until you get a fine powder consistency.
It’s ideal to first get the dry ingredients to a fine consistency
Step 2
Combine all dry and wet (eggs, milk, vanilla paste, banana) ingredients into the blender for 1-2 mins until smooth.
Recommended: Allow batter to rest for 10 mins.
This will give the starch granules (amylose and amylopectin) in the oats time to thicken and gelatinise, giving you that beautiful batter viscosity.
If you feel the batter is too thick, add a little water and mix.
Step 3
Lightly spray pan with cooking oil.
Heat pan over a low-medium heat.
Ladle in batter and spread in a swirl motion starting from the centre outwards to get a nice evenness.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, until batter bubbles appear on top, and the bottom side is golden.
Flip and cook the other side for 1 minute until cooked through.
Step 4
Remove pancake and stack on serving plate. Continue process with the remaining batter.
Serve with preferred toppings.
Note: Nutritional values do not include toppings. Topping values must be calculated separately – refer to product information.
Pro Tip: Keep a batch ready for meal prep, so you can enjoy a quick, nutritious breakfast any day.
