4-Ingredient Protein Pancakes
Whip up these deliciously fluffy, protein-packed pancakes made with just four simple ingredients, perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1/2 cup mashed banana Ripe bananas provide natural sweetness.
- 3 large egg whites Fresh egg whites are recommended for fluffiness.
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder Adjust for higher altitudes if necessary.
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder (optional) Chocolate protein powder can also be used.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, egg whites, baking powder, and protein powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cooking
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet. Cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming in the center of the pancake.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the pancake from the skillet and repeat the process until all the batter has been used, spraying the skillet as needed between batches.
- Serve your pancakes warm, topped with fresh fruit, honey, or your favorite nut butter.
Notes
For fluffier pancakes, be sure to use fresh egg whites and mix the batter until well combined but not overworked. Feel free to mix in chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor!
