How to Make the Perfect High Protein Breakfast

  2. Add the 50g oats into the cup.
  3. Chop the banana into chunks and drop into cup.

  5. Add the milk (Any type will be okay). about 4 teaspoons of measurement. (This keeps the pancakes nice and flat and adds an extra moistness to them.
  6. Blend until everything is mixed together.
  7. Pre heat pan – Pour into pan in little pancakes about the size of an egg.
    • For convenience to speed things up you can just dump it all in at once. Making one big pancake.
  8. Flip after 4-5 minutes and cook the other side.

Cover one side of your pancakes in peanut butter (I use smooth), then another in raspberry jam (Find it works best out of all jams) and put the 2 pancakes together – sort of like a sandwich and eat with a knife and fork.

If you make one big pancake to save time, Just spread Jam on one half and your peanut butter on the other half, fold it over.

Serve and enjoy.
