Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup liquid egg whites
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1–3 Tablespoons almond milk
Dry Ingredients
- 1 scoop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Optional
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk: In a small bowl, whisk together the liquid egg whites and vanilla protein powder using a fork or whisk until the protein powder is fully dissolved to ensure a smooth batter.
- Combine: Stir in the mashed banana, oat flour, and baking powder until all ingredients are well incorporated. If you want to add some extra flavor and texture, fold in chocolate chips. If the batter is too thick, gradually add almond milk one tablespoon at a time to reach the desired consistency.
- Cook: Preheat a medium-sized non-stick pan over low to medium heat (about setting 3 on most stoves) and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake into the pan.
- Flip: Cook the pancakes until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the inside is fully cooked.
- Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and top with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, peanut butter, or extra chocolate chips. This recipe makes 4 to 5 pancakes.
- Store: Store leftover pancakes in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze them for up to 1 month. To reheat, pop them in a toaster oven or microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. If frozen, thaw in the fridge or microwave before reheating.
Notes
- Cooking on low to medium heat prevents burning and ensures the pancakes cook evenly inside out.
- Adjust almond milk to get the right batter consistency; too much will make the pancakes runny, too little will make them dense.
- These pancakes freeze well; separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Use a non-stick pan and cooking spray for best results and easier flipping.
- These can be served cold or reheated, making them perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.
