Servings: 8 -10 pancakes
Calories: 327kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium banana cut into chunks
- ½ cup nonfat milk
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup egg whites
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup vanilla flavored protein powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Mash the bananas. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Add milk and whisk together until smooth. Add egg and egg whites and whisk again.
- Make the batter. Add the flour, protein powder, baking soda, vanilla and salt. Whisk again until all ingredients are incorporated. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Cook the pancakes. Spray a non-stick pan with coconut oil or other cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. Pour ¼ cup of the batter into the heated pan. Repeat until the pan is full (about 3 pancakes fit into a 10" pan). Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the edges begin to just slightly brown. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Remove pancakes from the pan and keep warm. Repeat until all the batter has been used up. Serve with maple syrup and blueberries or fruit topping of your choice.
