Ingreadient
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- ¼ cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
- butter ( for greasing the pan)
- toppings of choice (fresh fruit, nuts, nut butter, maple syrup)
Step by step
- 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.
