Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 3/4 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• Optional toppings: sliced bananas, coconut flakes, maple syrup

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free oat flour, vanilla protein powder, shredded coconut, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, almond milk, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and unsweetened applesauce.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or cooking spray.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more pancakes.
8. Serve the pancakes warm with optional toppings like sliced bananas, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
