American Style Banana & Protein Pancake Recipe

American Style Banana & Protein Pancake Recipe

Pancake Day is a only a few days away.. is it on your calendar?! Shrove Tuesday has got to be one of my more favourite days of the year - after all, it's an excuse to eat pancakes and only pancakes for dinner .. there really are so many healthy toppings out there that you can easily create a healthy and balanced meal from them! I think my favourite topping has to be banana, agave nectar and Greek yoghurt :)

My oat and blueberry pancakes seem to be a big hit however I've had lots of requests on twitter for a pancake recipe made with protein powder..(there is an alternative if you don't have any protein powder so don't worry!) .. so here goes!!


Oat & Blueberry Pancakes

So, to make my *new* protein pancakes you will need:

1/4 cup (20g) oats

1/2 mashed banana (use a fork!)

1 egg white

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (~25g) - can be swapped for milk powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp water

And here's what to do..

1) Mix together the banana, protein powder, egg white, cinnamon and water to make a paste (use a fork)

2) Spray a non-stick pan with 1 calorie spray oil (or use 1 tsp of coconut oil) and pour 1/3 of the mixture into the pan

3) Fry on each side for 2 minutes of until cooked.. and serve with agave nectar (low GI) or honey, chopped banana and/or Greek yoghurt.

4) Enjoy!!
