Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 extra ripe large banana, mashed into a puree (about ½ cup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup about 1 large scoop or 30 grams protein powder of your choice (vanilla, chocolate, or any favorite flavor — any dietary type works)
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar of your choice, (white sugar, monk fruit, coconut sugar, or date sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup mix-ins of your choice, (mini chocolate chips, blueberries, diced strawberries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, chopped dates, etc.)
  • Butter or cooking spray, for greasing the pan

Toppings of your choice:

  • Nut Butter
  • Butter
  • Greek Yogurt
  • Maple Syrup
  • Berries or chopped fruit
  • Sliced Banana
  • Whipped Cream
  • Granola
  • Chopped Nuts
  • Toasted Coconut Flakes
  • Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a griddle to 375°F or a large pan over medium heat.
  • In a bowl, whisk together all pancake ingredients. Note on batter consistency: The batter should be thick and drip slowly off a spoon — not runny. It should move around the bowl slowly when tilted. The consistency may vary based on the protein powder used, so if it's too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk; if it’s too thin, add 1–2 teaspoons of oat flour.
  • Grease pan with a small amount of butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle or pan. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, flipping once small bubbles begin to form on the surface.
  • Serve warm with any favorite toppings of your choice!
  • If you end up with extras, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop in the microwave for 15 seconds.
