Protein-packed banana egg pancakes

If you're looking for a nutritious and simple breakfast option that's both delicious and protein-packed, banana egg pancakes are a fantastic choice. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of bananas with the protein punch from eggs and whey protein powder, making it an excellent choice for those looking to fuel their mornings with a healthy meal. Perfect for fitness enthusiasts, these pancakes are not only quick to prepare but also require minimal ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 banana
120g
2 eggs
110g
2/3 scoop whey protein powder
20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel the banana and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Crack the eggs into the same bowl.
2. Mash and Mix:
- Use a fork or a potato masher to thoroughly mash the banana until it achieves a smooth consistency.
- Whisk the eggs into the mashed banana until the mixture is evenly combined.

3. Add Protein Powder:
- Gradually add the whey protein powder to the banana-egg mixture.
- Stir continuously to ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
4. Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease the skillet with a bit of cooking spray or a small amount of oil if necessary.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour small amounts of the batter (about 2-3 tablespoons per pancake) onto the preheated skillet. This will create small, manageable pancakes.
- Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and continue cooking the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Tips:

- For best results, use ripe bananas as they are sweeter and easier to mash.

- To achieve a smoother batter, blend the banana, eggs, and protein powder in a blender or food processor.

- Cook the pancakes on medium-low heat to ensure they cook through without burning.

- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-greased pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook one pancake at a time for even cooking.

- If you prefer fluffier pancakes, you can add a pinch of baking powder to the batter.

- Top the pancakes with fresh fruits, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.

In just a few minutes, you can whip up these protein-packed banana egg pancakes to kickstart your day with a burst of energy. Whether you're enjoying them as a post-workout meal or a healthy breakfast, this recipe is both versatile and satisfying. Remember to get creative with your toppings – a sprinkle of nuts, a drizzle of honey, or a handful of fresh berries can elevate your pancakes to the next level.
