4-Ingredient Protein Pancakes

Quick and easy protein-packed pancakes made with just four ingredients.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup banana, mashed
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder optional; chocolate protein powder can be used instead

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • nonstick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until mostly smooth, then add the egg whites, baking powder, and protein powder.
  2. Whisk the mixture until it forms a smooth batter with no large lumps.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form in the center, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through and lightly golden.
  6. Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat, spraying the skillet as needed between batches.
  7. Serve warm with fresh fruit, honey, or nut butter if desired.

Notes

  • Use a ripe banana for better sweetness and texture.
  • Swap in chocolate protein powder for a different flavor.
  • Cook over medium heat to prevent burning before the center cooks.
  • Lightly spray the skillet between batches to prevent sticking.
