Protein Banana Fluffy Pancakes (Printable)

Quick, fluffy pancakes made from banana, eggs, and protein powder for a nutritious start.

# What You Need:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 2 large eggs
02 - 1 ripe banana

04 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth.

06 - Serve immediately with preferred toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 15 minutes flat, which means you can make breakfast even on mornings when you oversleep.
  • Only three ingredients mean less cleanup and no pantry scrambling for obscure items.
  • Actually keeps you satisfied until lunch, unlike regular pancakes that leave you hungry an hour later.
02 -
  • Don't overmix the batter or your pancakes will come out dense and tough instead of light and fluffy.
  • Medium heat is essential — too high and the outside burns before the inside cooks, too low and they become rubbery.
03 -
  • Let your banana sit at room temperature for an hour before mashing; it blends into the batter more smoothly and creates a more uniform texture.
  • If your batter seems too thick, a tablespoon of milk or water loosens it without adding significant calories or changing the nutrition profile.
