Performance Pancakes

1 ripe banana

2 eggs (or 3 egg whites + 1 yolk for lighter version)

2 tbsp rolled oats (or oat flour)

1 tbsp Greek yoghurt (adds protein + moisture)

½ tsp baking powder

Pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract

1 tsp olive oil or coconut oil (for cooking)

Optional boosts:

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (for extra recovery)

1 tsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds (for hormone-supporting omega-3s)

1. Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.

2. Whisk in eggs, oats, yoghurt, baking powder, and cinnamon. 3. Mix until combined.

4. Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil over medium heat.

5. Pour in small circles (around ¼ cup each). Cook 1–2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook another minute.

6. Stack and serve warm.

Topping ideas

• Pre-class: sliced banana, drizzle of honey, and almond butter for slow-release energy.
• Post-training: Greek yoghurt, berries, and a sprinkle of seeds for protein and antioxidants.
• Hormone support: cooked apples or pears with cinnamon and walnuts — naturally sweet, fibre-rich, and calming.
