Ingredients

1 One Large Ripe Banana The riper the better. Look for those beautiful brown speckles.
2 Two Large Eggs Using fresh, high quality eggs results in a better rise and a richer flavor.
1 scoop One Scoop of Protein Powder I often use a high quality vanilla or unflavored protein powder.

Equipment

Mixing bowl
Fork
skillet,
- Spatula

Method

In a medium mixing bowl, peel your banana and break it into pieces. Use a fork to mash it until it reaches a smooth, liquid consistency.
Crack your two eggs into the banana mixture. Using that same fork or a small whisk, beat them together until the color is uniform.
Sprinkle in your scoop of protein powder. Stir gently until the powder is fully incorporated and no dry clumps remain.
Lightly coat your warm pan with a touch of coconut oil or butter.
Pour small circles of batter into the pan, about two tablespoons per pancake. Because these lack baking powder or flour, they are delicate. Small pancakes are much easier to flip.
After about two minutes, or when the edges look dry and golden, slide a thin spatula underneath. Flip with a gentle, confident motion. Cook for another minute on the other side.
Stack them high on a warm plate.

Notes

These pancakes are naturally gluten-free and can be easily made vegan by using a plant-based protein powder and replacing the eggs with flax eggs. They are a great option for those looking for high protein breakfast ideas or quick breakfast ideas.
