Servings 5 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup protein powder vanilla or unflavored
- ¼ cup almond flour or oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- butter for greasing the pan
- toppings of choice fresh fruit, nuts, nut butter, maple syrup
Instructions
- First, in a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until it becomes a smooth paste.
- Add the eggs to the bowl with the mashed banana. Whisk together until well combined.
- Add the protein powder, almond flour (or oat flour), baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and a smooth batter forms. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) to adjust the consistency.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Pour approximately ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circular shape, if needed.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly golden.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Finally, serve the banana protein pancakes warm! Top them with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Use a ripe banana.
- We love the Prime Powder due to the real food ingredients.
- Use enough butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Flip the pancakes once small bubbles have formed.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place them on a griddle or skillet over low heat. Heat until warm.
- Freeze for up to 2 months if needed.
