Beneficial ingredients in this recipe like oatmeal and banana are filled with fiber and carbs, which help bodybuilders refuel and rebuild after intense workouts. The addition of high protein greek yogurt provides additional health benefits such as an increase in bone mass, muscle strength, and protein synthesis.

In addition, ingredients like egg whites and almond milk provide the body with a healthy dose of protein. In fact, egg whites are packed with amino acids that help build lean muscle mass while also speeding up the post workout recovery process. Egg whites are also naturally low in calories.

Ingredients

  • Oats: Quick oats will provide the best texture for this recipe because they are softer than other oats, however, you can use whole oats, instead. They will just need to be soaked for longer.
  • High Protein Almond Milk: I found a cool unsweetened vanilla almond milk from Orgain for this recipe, and I would probably use it again! However, normal almond milk would also work just fine. You may just want to add some vanilla extract if you are using unflavored almond milk.
  • Egg Whites: I used whole eggs and just separated the whites from the yolks in this recipe. Alternatively, you can get a carton of egg whites from the store.
  • Banana: Usually it doesn’t matter how ripe your bananas are when making a breakfast recipe, however, I would recommend bananas that are on the riper side for these pancakes because they will be easier to mash. Alternatively, you can use frozen bananas that have been thawed and mashed.
  • Greek yogurt: I always recommend going for plain, nonfat Greek yogurt because it provides the highest ratio of protein and does not contain any added sugars.
  • Cinnamon
  • Honey: Honey is used purely as a sweetener in this recipe, so feel free to omit if you don’t want to include any extra sugar
  • Peanut Butter: I use natural peanut butter as a drizzly topping over these pancakes. They offer a nice protein and flavor boost without any added sugar.

How To Make Egg White & Oatmeal Protein Pancakes

Step 1

Step 1 on how to make egg white & oatmeal protein pancake for bodybuilding: Start by mixing together the oats and almond milk in a mixing bowl and separate your egg whites and whisk them together in another bowl.

Start by mixing together the oats and almond milk in a mixing bowl. Let the oats soak for at least 10 minutes or for up to an hour. This will allow the oats to get nice and soft. Meanwhile, separate your egg whites and whisk them together in another bowl.

Step 2

Once the oats are done soaking, combine the soaked oats, egg whites, mashed banana, honey, and cinnamon together and mix until smooth.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 3-4 tablespoons of the pancake mix into the pan and let cook for about 3 minutes or until bubbles form on the top. Then, flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the batter. This should make about 12 pancakes, or 4 servings of 3 pancakes.

Step 4

Top the pancakes with peanut butter and any fruit that you’d like. I added ½ of a banana and a strawberry, but I bet this would also be great with blueberries, apples, or peaches.
