Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, creating the base of your pancake batter.
- Add Eggs: Whisk in the large eggs thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly creamy.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the protein powder, baking powder, optional cinnamon and vanilla extract, plus a pinch of salt into the banana-egg mixture. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and has a slightly thick consistency.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 2–3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with your favorite toppings such as nut butter, fresh fruit, or maple syrup for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use plant-based protein powder to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- For an extra smooth batter, blend all ingredients together in a blender instead of mixing by hand.
- Add mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and variety.
