Description

Delicious and nutritious banana protein pancakes perfect for breakfast!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana (125g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup plant based protein powder (37g)
  • 1/3 cup blanched almond flour (35g)
  • 2 Tbsp tapioca starch (14g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Grease a frying pan with coconut oil (or butter) and place on the stovetop. Preheat on medium heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, eggs, water, and vanilla.
  3. Add in the protein powder, almond flour, tapioca, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the preheated frying pan (I cooked 2 pancakes at a time). Cover with a lid and cook on medium heat, reducing the heat if necessary.
  6. Once bubbles form on the tops of the pancakes, remove the lid and flip. Cook about another minute, or until done.
  7. Place cooked pancakes on a wire cooling rack (or serve immediately) and repeat steps 5-6 until no more batter remains.

Notes

  • These pancakes can be served with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or nut butter for added flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or maple syrup in the batter if desired.
