This high protein pancakes recipe is ideal for those who love a stack of flapjacks but also prioritize their daily intake of protein. Made with whole grain oats instead of flour for slower burning energy!

Transfer the oats to a high-powered blender and blend on a low speed for 60-90 seconds, or until a flour forms.
Add the remaining ingredients for the pancakes to the blender and blend until smooth. If the pancake batter seems too thick, add a little additional milk (or water). If the batter seems too thin, allow the pancake batter to sit for 10 minutes, as it will thicken.
Add cooking oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to warm up for a few minutes.
Measure out a scant ⅓ cup of batter and pour it onto the hot skillet. My 12-inch skillet accommodates 3 pancakes at a time. Let the batter cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pancakes are cooked through and are golden brown on both sides. If at any point the batter browns up too quickly, reduce the heat to medium heat.
Repeat for the remaining batter. This recipe makes 10 small pancakes.
Serve pancakes with your favorite toppings. I like eating them with butter, a dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, and a drizzle of honey. Almond butter, peanut butter, or more cottage cheese is a great option too!
