- 2 bananas
- 60 grams (¼ cup) preferred yogurt or nut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- a pinch of salt
- 100 grams (1 cup) rolled oats
- 50 grams (½ cup) protein powder see notes*
- 45 to 60 ml (3 to 4 tbsp) preferred milk see notes*
- 150 grams (1 cup) fresh blueberries
- maple syrup or honey to taste, see notes*
- Heat oven to 180°C (350°F) and fold a 15 cm x 15 cm (7 inch x 7 inch) brownie pan with parchment paper.
- First, in a large bowl mash the bananas and combine with yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. If you want sweeter protein flapjacks, add maple syrup or honey to your likings. Stir until you get a smooth mixture.
- Add rolled oats and protein powder to the wet mixture, while gradually pouring in the milk to consistency (see notes*). Once smooth, fold through the blueberries.
- Transfer the protein dough to the prepared baking pan and top with more blueberries, if you desire.
- Bake the protein flapjacks in hot oven for 20 to 30 minutes (baking time depends on the pan size). To make sure that they are ready, insert a toothpick in the center of your bars.

- I recommend vegan protein powder and casein, as they are generally better for baking. Although it can be used as well, whey protein powder tends to dry and spoil the flapjacks texture.
- The quantity of milk depends on the type of protein powder you use. Casein and vegan protein powder will require more milk than whey. Start with little and add as much liquid as you need to get a smooth dough.
- Bananas sweeten these bars naturally. For sweeter oatmeal bars, add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup or honey. Taste the dough and adjust with maple syrup or honey if it is necessary.
