In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Store in a large air-tight container until ready to use.
To make the protein pancakes:
When ready to make pancakes, place 1 cup protein pancake mix in a blender along with 2 eggs, 1/3 cup egg whites, 1 large ripe banana, 1 teaspoon coconut oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Preheat griddle or non-stick frying pan to medium-high. Spray with cooking spray or grease with coconut oil. Using a tablespoon, scoop or pour pancake mixture onto the pan so that it forms a medium-sized circle (use about 2 heaping tablespoons for each pancake).
Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side or until edges start to harden and bubbles start to form on surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Top with sliced banana, peanut butter, chocolate chips, coconut and maple syrup or other desired toppings.
Notes
Using one cup of protein pancake mix will yield about 10 protein pancakes.
The nutritional information is calculated for one pancake. If you have more than one pancake, multiply the nutritional values by the number you choose to have.
I tested this recipe using a vegan protein powder which tends to produce a slightly thicker batter. If you're using a whey or non-vegan protein powder, I recommend starting with 1/4 cup egg whites when making the pancake batter to prevent the batter from being too thin. You can always add a bit more egg whites once blended if the batter seems too thick.
When making the protein pancakes, use an overripe banana as it tends to be naturally sweeter and will lend a better flavour to the pancakes.
