Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 3 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 medium apple
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, add rolled oats and blend until you achieve a fine flour-like consistency.

Step 2

Add almond milk, vanilla protein powder, egg whites, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Core and grate the apple using a box grater. Add the grated apple to the pancake batter and stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add half of the coconut oil, letting it melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 5

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.

Step 7

Serve the pancakes warm, optionally topped with slices of fresh apple, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
