Simple Blueberry Chocolate Chip Collagen Pancakes

< Back

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 4-5 minutes each side for a total of 8-10 minutes

Total time: less than 20 minutes

Yields: 7 pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 medium – large sized banana
• 1 scoop or 1 packet of Vital Proteins Marine Collagen
• 1 cup gluten free oats (quick cooking kind)
• 2 tbsp. ground flaxseeds or ground chia seeds
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
• few dashes of cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup egg whites (equals 4 eggs with yolked removed)
• Additional add ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, bananas, nuts, etc!

Instructions:

1. Add ALL of the ingredients, except for the “additional add ins” into your blender. Blend until fully incorporated on medium speed. 3-5 minutes.
2. Over medium heat on a non stick skillet, add 1-2 tbsp. of coconut oil. Allow the pan to heat for a few minutes.
3. Pour about 1/4 cup heaping size into the skillet. After 4 minutes, the edges should begin to crips and bubbles will form.
4. FLIP and ADD your toppings of choice and let the pancakes cook for an addition 3-4 minutes.
5. Serve warm or cold with maple syrup, nut butters, coconut butter, extra berries, few dashes of cinnamon or anything you like!

Notes:

1. You can make the pancakes any size you want, the larger the size the longer you will cook on each side.
2. Store the remaining pancakes in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for longer. To re-heat simply place in your toast oven or in the oven until warm.
3. You do not have to use gluten free oats, regular oats will work fine! I haven’t tested any other flours etc.
4. I used a yellow/firm banana, but if the banana is very ripe the pancakes will be sweeter. You can always add in a sweetener of choice, but not necessary.
5. The marine collagen is optional and can be left out, just simply adds extra nutritional benefits. If you do leave it out it does not need to be replaced with a substitute.
6. You can also add in protein powder. I would suggest 2 scoops of your favorite brand/flavor!
