Ingredients

Optional toppings:
  • Maple syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Mini gingerbread man

Method

  1. Firstly, add the banana and eggs to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Add the protein and oats and blend again (adding the wet ingredients first helps to make sure that none of the dry ingredients get stuck to the bottom of the blender).
  3. Heat a little oil or butter in a medium-sized frying pan and then pour ¼ of the pancake batter into the pan. If you want thicker pancakes, wait for about 15 seconds and then pour a little more on top.
  4. Cook for around a minute, then flip and cook for another minute. Remove from the pan and place on a plate to the side.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter until you have a stack. Top with your favorite toppings – we went for plenty of syrup and a squirt of whipped cream.
