A great breakfast after a workout and you can enjoy with nut butter or fruit

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Chef Lucy with Top Mealz demonstrates how to make pancakes using protein powder.

It's a simple recipe the whole family can learn and reap the benefits of.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 banana​
• 75g oats​
• 3 large eggs​
• 2 tbsp milk (dairy, soy, oat or nut milks all work)​
• 1 tbsp baking powder​
• pinch of cinnamon​
• 2 tbsp protein powder (whey, pea or whatever your preference)​
• 2 tbsp coconut oil​

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Whizz the banana, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon and protein powder in a blender for 1-2 mins until smooth. Check the oats have broken down, if not, blend for another minute.​
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan. Pour or ladle in 2-3 rounds of batter, leaving a little space between each to spread. 
• Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the underside is golden. Flip over and cook for another minute until cooked through.
• Transfer to a warmed oven and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve in stacks with nut butter, maple syrup and fruit.​
