Instructions

Make the pancake batter:
Blend oats, banana, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, egg whites, and milk until smooth.
Cook the pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour small circles of batter onto the pan (silver dollar style). Cook 2–3 minutes on one side, flip, and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
Build your bowl:
Chop the cooked pancakes into bite-sized pieces and add to a bowl. Top with Greek yogurt, nut butter, fruit, syrup, and any extra toppings you love.

Serve:
Dig in with a spoon and enjoy warm or cold!

Notes

Use chocolate protein powder and add dark chocolate chips for a fun twist.
Make extra pancakes and store them in the fridge or freezer for quick bowls all week.
Great for kids and adults alike—just let everyone pick their own toppings!
