Auto-detected from the ingredient list. Always double-check labels on packaged items (e.g. protein powders, sauces, breads), many are produced in facilities that also handle nuts, soy, milk, wheat or eggs. If you have a severe allergy, do not rely on this list alone.

Overview

Why it works

The simplest high-protein breakfast in existence. Banana, eggs, oats - blend and pour.

  • Whole eggs deliver leucine to trigger muscle protein synthesis.
  • Oats give slow carbs to fuel morning sessions.
  • No protein powder needed - pure whole food.

Ingredients

Ingredients · 1 servings

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch cinnamon
  • Berries and Greek yogurt to top

Instructions

Step by step

  1. 1

    Peel and break the banana into rough chunks and add to a blender.

  2. 2

    Crack in the 2 whole eggs, then add the rolled oats, baking powder and cinnamon.

  3. 3

    Blend for 20 seconds until you have a smooth, pourable batter; it should be about the consistency of thick cream.

  4. 4

    Let the batter rest for 2 minutes while you heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat; add a small knob of butter and let it melt and foam.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the pan in small silver-dollar-size circles, about 3 to 4 tablespoons each.

  6. 6

    Cook for about 90 seconds until the edges look set and bubbles appear across the surface of each pancake.

  7. 7

    Flip gently and cook for another 90 seconds until the underside is golden brown.

  8. 8

    Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with fresh berries and a spoonful of Greek yogurt.

Pro Tips
