Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 2–4 tablespoons protein powder (whey or pea protein)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the banana: Peel the ripe banana and place it into a blender or food processor to start forming the pancake batter base.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend: Add the 2 large eggs, protein powder, optional cinnamon, and vanilla extract into the blender. Blend everything until smooth. If the batter is too thick, thin it by adding a small amount of water; if too thin, add more protein powder to achieve the proper consistency.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and ensure golden pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour small rounds of the batter onto the heated pan. Cook each side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pancakes turn golden brown and set properly.
- Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate and serve them with your choice of fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra flavor.
Notes
- You can use either whey or pea protein powder depending on dietary preference or availability.
- Adding cinnamon and vanilla extract is optional but enhances the flavor.
- Adjust the protein powder quantity to achieve a batter consistency that is thick enough to hold shape but not too dense.
- Use a non-stick pan and moderate heat to avoid burning the pancakes.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
