Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 ½ ripe bananas the spottier, the better!
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar or use maple syrup or honey if you’re feeling fancy
• 1 cup quick oats
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

 

1. Blend It Like Beckham – Toss everything into a blender: bananas, eggs, oats, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30–45 seconds. You want a pourable batter — think smoothie-thick, not drywall paste.
2. Heat Things Up – Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a smidge of coconut oil or a non-stick spray if you’re calorie-counting like it’s a sport.
3. Pour & Sizzle – Pour ¼ cup portions of batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip gently (they’re sensitive, like your ex) and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
4. Stack & Attack – Serve hot. Top with fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup — or just flex and eat them straight up.

🧠 Coach’s Corner: Fuel Your Focus

These pancakes aren’t just tasty — they’re functional. The banana and oats give you slow-release carbs to fuel your brain. The eggs pack in protein to support muscle recovery and satiety. And cinnamon? A metabolic hero that also makes your kitchen smell like a bakery married a wellness retreat.

So if you’re someone who’s committed to becoming the best version of yourself — mentally, physically, spiritually — but still wants to eat food that tastes like actual food, this is your breakfast.

Eat well. Train smart. And never trust a pancake that’s afraid of cinnamon.
