Description

These Flourless Banana & Protein Powder Pancakes are a delicious, healthy breakfast option that combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the muscle-boosting benefits of protein powder. Perfect for gluten-free and high-protein diets, these pancakes are easy to make, require no flour, and can be served with fresh fruit or maple syrup for a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil (for cooking)

For Serving (optional)

  • Fresh fruit
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Mash Bananas and Whisk Eggs: In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in the eggs until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy to ensure good batter consistency.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon if using, and a pinch of salt to the banana and egg mixture. Stir gently until the batter comes together and is smooth without lumps. Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly, which helps improve pancake texture.
  3. Prepare the Cooking Surface: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on the first side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then carefully flip the pancake. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Repeat and Serve: Continue cooking the remaining batter by adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. Serve the pancakes warm topped with fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup according to preference.

Notes

  • Use whey, plant-based, or collagen protein powder—just ensure it blends well and isn’t overly gritty for the best texture.
  • Cook these pancakes low and slow to ensure even browning and proper structure.
  • If the batter is too thick after resting, stir in a small splash of milk or water to adjust consistency.
  • These pancakes freeze well; store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or microwave.
