Guys! The pancakes have zero carbs, 36grams of protein, and only 250 calories before you add in whatever you want. That transfers to no blood sugar swings that you get with regular pancakes that are made with flour. The protein powder in this recipe replaces the need for flour, so your energy will be boundless as you move through your morning.

I love to have this meal as my post workout because the protein in the eggs and protein powder help my muscles recover and the berries give me energy and also help eliminate post workout soreness.

See what I mean? Are you on your way to get the ingredients so that you can make these pancakes right now?

Banana Pancake Recipe

What you need per serving:

  • 1 scoop Quest Protein Powder for Baking. I like this protein powder because it is unflavored, leaving lots of room for my imagination. Also, my tastebuds like to call the shots.
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg white. Sometimes I use 2 whole eggs. I like to get the nutrients from the egg yolk, but you may substitute 3 egg whites if you don’t want the yolk. turns out, eggs are back on the good for you list, so don’t be shy about including the yolk, especially if you don’t eat meat, or not much meat. Egg yolks are a great source of the essential vitamin B12.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder. If you want your pancakes to be more crepe like, then leave the baking powder out. Either way, they are delicious.
  • 1/4 cup water, or however much makes your batter the thickness of your choice.
  • 1 tablespoon unrefined cold pressed coconut oil for cooking the pancakes.
  • 1/2 mashed banana

To Make:

  • Mix all ingredients except the oil in a bowl.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a skillet or griddle.
  • Drop batter by spoonfuls into oil and cook over medium heat, turning when bottom side is golden brown. I like mine just a little crunchy because the coconut oil turns them the best consistency!

Toppings

  • Strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices
  • Butter
  • Manuka honey or real maple syrup. Use sparingly if you are watching you carbs. they contain natural sugar, but it is still sugar. I skip these most days and rely on the sweetness of the berries.
  • A dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.

Variations:

  • Add organic dark chocolate chips to the batter to make chocolate chip banana pancakes.
  • Add a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter to the batter to make peanut butter banana pancakes.
  • Add 1/8 cup coconut flakes to make coconut banana pancakes.

Just remember, watch the add ins because they also add calories and carbs. Sometimes, though, you just gotta splurge and have some chocolate chip peanut butter banana pancakes! That’s what Im talking about!

Enjoy your banana pancakes and have a happy beautiful life!!!
