Ingredients
  

Pancake Ingredients
  • 1 large large banana, mashed (approximately 120g)
  • 2 large eggs (approximately 100g)
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder (optional, 1g)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla whey protein powder (optional, 30g)

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Place a medium skillet over medium heat, it's ready when water dropped into the pan sizzles.
  2. Mash the banana well using forks until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs, baking powder, and whey protein (if using) to the mashed banana and whisk until well combined.
  4. Spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the pancake mixture to the skillet, forming small pancakes.
  6. Cook for 25-30 seconds until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side for the same duration.
  7. Remove the cooked pancakes to a plate and serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Serve warm with nut butter, sugar-free syrup, butter, or fresh fruit. For extra flavor, sprinkle with cinnamon or drizzle with honey. These pancakes can be made gluten-free with gluten-free protein powder or by omitting it.
