Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 1 coop (22 g) vanilla whey protein powder (about ¼ cup)
Optional:
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the banana, eggs, protein powder, and cinnamon to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat. Do not let the pan get too hot otherwise the pancakes will burn. Spray lightly with olive oil grease with butter. Working in batches, pour the batter directly into the skillet from the blender, about 3-4 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear around the edges and the bottoms are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook another minute or so until done. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Top pancakes with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, Greek yogurt or peanut butter.
Notes
- ripen bananas in the oven or air fryer
- whey protein powder
- pancake spatula
- It's important to use the ripest bananas you have for this banana protein pancake recipe because they are the sweetest and I don't add any additional sugar to the pancake batter. If you're in a pinch, you can ripen bananas in the oven or air fryer.

- Protein powders can vary a lot in texture and weight depending on the brand. They can also come with different sized scoops. I use a scoop (22 g) of vanilla protein powder in this dish, which measures out to be ¼ cup (4 tablespoons). You can adjust the amount of protein powder as needed to get the right consistency. If the batter looks too thin, add a little more powder.

- I like to use whey protein powder in this recipe because it gives the batter a creamier texture. Use a protein powder that you like the flavor of since the batter will take on the flavor of the protein powder you use.

- These pancakes are delicate so be careful when flipping them. Use a wide pancake spatula to make it easier.
