Banana Oat Protein Pancakes

INGREDIENTS: 
1.5 cups oats (I used Quaker Quick Oats)
1 scoop of your favourite protein powder (I used Vega Sport Vanilla)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
0.5 - 1.5 cups non-dairy milk of choice (I used Kirkland Organic Soy Milk)
2 ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla extract

For sprinkling:
2 tbsps chocolate chips (or nuts, fruits, as preferred)

DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients (except the sprinkling ingredients) in a blender and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides partway as needed.  For the non-dairy milk, start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed to get a thick but smooth consistency.

Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes while you heat up your cookware (this makes for better pancakes). 

Heat a frying pan on medium heat or a griddle to 375F and allow to warm up for 10 minutes while the batter rests (this helps prevent the crappy under cooked first pancake).

Grease the surface if needed/desired (i used coconut oil), and pour batter to desired sized pancakes. This recipe should yield you 6-10 pancakes. 

Sprinkle the top of the pancakes with the sprinkling ingredients.

Cook for  a few minutes until small bubbles start to form at the surface. Check & flip. Cook a few minutes more. 

Serve hot with toppings of choice.

You can modify this recipe to your liking by using different flavours of protein powder, omitting the chocolate chips, adding nuts, hemp hearts or chia seeds, blueberries, etc, and topping with nut butter instead of syrup, etc.
