Ingredients

  • ½ banana mashed
  • 1 scoop or packet vanilla protein powder* use a gluten free variety as needed
  • ¼ cup egg whites** + 1-2 tablespoons water as needed for a thinner consistency
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey optional for serving
  • ¼ cup fresh fruit optional for serving

Instructions

  • Mash banana in a small bowl. Add protein powder and egg whites; stir to combine and add 1-2 tablespoons water as needed for a thinner consistency.
  • Heat a greased skillet or griddle to medium low heat. Slowly and evenly pour the
  • batter onto the pan to make several small pancakes. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup per pancake. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on one side. Once the underside of the pancake is golden brown, carefully flip and cook for another 3 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
  • Remove from heat and top with a drizzle of real maple syrup and fruit if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

*I use Perfect Fit gluten free, vegan vanilla or chocolate protein powder. 1 scoop is 24 grams and has 100 calories and 15 grams of protein.
**I use carton egg whites.
***These pancakes will also cook up wonderfully as waffles.Spray your waffle iron (top and bottom) with cooking spray and pour batter onto waffle iron. The batter is thick, so smooth it out over the waffle iron. Allow waffle to cook. I cook mine on the highest setting and a little longer from when the waffle iron goes off, so the waffles are a little crisper, otherwise these will be very soft waffles. Recipe will make one large Belgian waffle.
****Nutritional info will vary depending on protein powder used. I also calculated with 2 teaspoons maple syrup and ¼ cup raspberries, so sugar will be lower if not using.
