Banana-egg protein pancakes are a nutritious and delicious way to start your day. Packed with protein from eggs and natural sweetness from bananas, these pancakes make for an excellent breakfast or post-workout meal. They are simple to prepare and require just a few ingredients, perfect for anyone looking for a quick and healthy option.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and cut the banana into small pieces. This will make it easier to mash.
- Separate the yolks from the whites of 3 eggs, keeping only the egg whites. You can discard the yolks or save them for another use.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a fork to thoroughly mash the banana until it becomes smooth and almost liquid-like. A few small lumps are okay.
- Add the whole egg and the 3 egg whites to the mashed banana.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until you get a smooth and well-combined batter. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Allow the pan to heat up for a couple of minutes. To test if it’s ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the pan is hot enough.
- Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of oil (optional, but helps prevent sticking).
- Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes; each pancake should be about 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You'll know it's time to flip them when small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Once the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a plate.
- Serve the pancakes warm. You can enjoy them plain or add your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, yogurt, honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a ripe banana for easier mashing and enhanced sweetness.
- Whisk the egg and egg whites thoroughly to ensure a uniform mixture.
- Preheat the pan on medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
- Use a non-stick pan or lightly coat the pan with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes in small batches to maintain control and achieve an even cook on each side.
- Feel free to add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for additional flavor.
- Serve with fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey for extra taste and nutrition.
