Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 2–4 tablespoons protein powder (whey or pea protein)
Optional Flavorings
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
For Cooking
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the banana: Peel the banana and place it in a blender or food processor to create a smooth base for the pancakes.
- Make the batter: Add the eggs and protein powder to the banana in the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth, adjusting the consistency by adding a little water if the batter is too thick, or more protein powder if too thin.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour small rounds of batter onto the heated pan. Cook each side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown and fully set.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your choice of fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Adjust protein powder amount to suit taste and dietary requirements.
- If batter is too thick, add water gradually to avoid runny batter.
- Cook on medium-low heat to ensure pancakes cook through without burning.
- These pancakes are gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using oil instead of butter.
