Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 2–4 tablespoons protein powder (whey or pea protein)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the banana: Peel the ripe banana and place it in a blender or food processor.
- Make the batter: Add the two eggs and protein powder to the blender. Blend until smooth. Adjust the batter thickness by adding a little water if it’s too thick, or more protein powder if it’s too thin.
- Heat the pan: Warm a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat, then lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour small rounds of the batter onto the pan. Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully set inside.
- Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate and enjoy with optional toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

- Cooking on medium-low heat ensures pancakes cook through without burning.
- Optional cinnamon and vanilla add warmth and flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
