Protein Banana Pancakes with Complete Meal

Pancakes can absolutely be part of a breakfast that feels good and fits into your routine. This easy protein banana pancake recipe combines banana, rolled oats, almond milk and Vanilla Complete Meal into a simple batter you can make right in your blender.

Why This Recipe Works

• Complete Meal adds plant-based protein. One scoop of Complete Meal Vanilla provides 25g of plant-based protein.
• Rolled oats and banana create the pancake base. Blending them together gives the batter body without making the recipe complicated.
• It turns your usual scoop into something new. Instead of having Complete Meal only as a shake, this recipe gives you another way to enjoy your Vanilla flavor as part of breakfast.

Swaps & Tips

Adjust the consistency. If you prefer thicker pancakes, start with less almond milk and add more as needed until the batter reaches your preferred consistency.

Try a different plant milk. Oat, soy or another milk of your choice can be used in place of almond milk.

Change the toppings. Fresh strawberries, sliced banana or a sprinkle of chopped almonds are easy ways to finish your stack.

Keep the heat moderate. Protein pancake batter can cook differently from traditional pancake batter, so medium heat gives the center time to cook without browning the outside too quickly.
