Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:

1 cup rolled oats

1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

1 ripe banana

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray or coconut oil for the skillet

For the Apple Filling:

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

A splash of lemon juice

For Topping (optional):

Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt

Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Additional maple syrup or honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Filling:

    In a medium skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a splash of lemon juice. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Make the Pancake Batter:

        In a blender, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, ripe banana, almond milk, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and well combined. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more almond milk until desired consistency is reached.

          Cook the Pancakes:

            Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or coconut oil. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

              Assemble the Wraps:

                Place a pancake on a plate, add a generous spoonful of the apple filling in the center, and fold the sides of the pancake over the filling to create a wrap. You can also roll it up like a burrito.

                  Serve and Enjoy:

                    Top with Greek yogurt, nuts, or extra maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your Apple Cinnamon Protein Pancake Wraps while warm!
