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
Peel and break the banana into rough chunks and add to a blender.
- 2
Crack in the 2 whole eggs, then add the rolled oats, baking powder and cinnamon.
- 3
Blend for 20 seconds until you have a smooth, pourable batter; it should be about the consistency of thick cream.
- 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
Pour the batter into the pan in small silver-dollar-size circles, about 3 to 4 tablespoons each.
- 6
Cook for about 90 seconds until the edges look set and bubbles appear across the surface of each pancake.
- 7
Flip gently and cook for another 90 seconds until the underside is golden brown.
- 8
Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with fresh berries and a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
