Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or flavor of your choice)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup almond milk
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup blueberries or chocolate chips (optional)
• Coconut oil or cooking spray for greasing the pan

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes to allow the flours to absorb the liquid.
4. If using, gently fold in the blueberries or chocolate chips.
5. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease with coconut oil or cooking spray.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
