Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large ripe banana (the spottier, the better)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) of vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoons of quick oats or oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray for the pan
Instructions
- Peel the ripe banana and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash it thoroughly until it reaches a smooth, liquid-like consistency with very few lumps remaining.
- Crack the two eggs into the bowl with the mashed banana. Whisk them together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
- Stir in the protein powder, oats (or oat flour), baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the pancakes a bit tough.
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of coconut oil or a quick spray of non-stick cooking oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
