Chocolate Blender Protein Pancakes

Ingredients (For 3)

• 1 cup (90g) rolled oats 
• 3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 
• 2 tbsp. vegan chocolate protein powder
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• ½ medium banana
• 1 tbsp. flax meal (ground flax seed)
• 2 tbsp. water
• 1 ⅓ cup (320ml) unsweetened soy or almond milk
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup
• Banana slices and walnuts

 

Method

1. To make the flax egg, start by mixing the flax meal and water in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Pour the soy milk, flax egg and maple syrup into a blender. Then add in the rolled oats, banana, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder and baking powder. Blend to a smooth consistency.
3. Heat a non-stick frying pan to a medium heat. Grease the pan with a little oil. Spoon in a little of the pancake batter and cook the pancakes until they start to bubble on one side. Flip the pancake over and cook for a further minute on the second side or until cooked through. Repeat this process for all the pancakes.
4. Optional: Serve the pancakes with a little maple syrup, banana slices and walnuts.
