Description

Ingredients

• 1 large banana (it should yield about 1/3 - 1/2 cup, mashed)
• 2 eggs
• 1/8 teaspoon baking powder (optional but recommended)
• 2 tablespoons vanilla whey protein powder (optional; you can also add a touch of vanilla extract instead)

Directions

• Place a medium skillet over medium heat on the stove. Let it heat up while you prepare the pancakes. Its ready when water dropped into the pan sizzles.
• To prepare the pancakes, mash the banana well with a couple of forks. Add the eggs, baking powder, and protein powder (if using) and whisk until well combined. Spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray before adding in 2-3 tablespoons of the pancake mixture (I used a sprayed metal ring to make mine so round -- if you dont want to bother, theyll just be a little wonky shaped.)
• Let the pancakes cook for 25-30 seconds before flipping and letting the other side cook for the same amount of time. Remove to a plate and serve with nut butter, sugar-free syrup, butter, fruit, or whatever youd like!
