- Cooking spray
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup nut milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup applesauce
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tbsp red food dye
Topping ideas:
- powdered sugar
- maple syrup
- cream cheese frosting
- fresh berries
Add rolled oats, nut milk, applesauce, and eggs into a blender. Blend until smooth.
Next, add protein powder, baking powder, and vanilla extract into the blender and pulse until batter is completely liquified.
Then, whisk in the red food dye. You can add as much as you’d like. I added enough until the batter turned red.
Heat a griddle to medium heat. Spray with cooking spray
Next, pour the batter into 4-6 inch sized pancakes and let sizzle on the griddle (this recipe makes ~4 pancakes).
Then, add fresh raspberries to the wet pancake batter and flip. Ensure they are cooked on the bottom prior to flipping. See my notes above for instructions.
Remove from griddle and top with desired toppings. Enjoy!!
You can store any extra pancakes wrapped in tinfoil or in an airtight container for up to a week in your refrigerator. Freeze in a large Ziploc bag with a square of parchment between each pancake to prevent them from freezing together. To reheat, microwave in 30 second intervals or toast in the toaster.
