RECIPE : BANANA PROTEIN PANCAKES
February 14, 2016
Hello! I know this post is a tad late since Pancake day was Tuesday, but I just discovered and tried out a whole new recipe to make pancakes that is super guilt free as it only really has two ingredients; a banana & eggs.
(You can obviously play around with it and add things where you feel necessary).
These pancakes are fantastic for a healthy and filling breakfast or as a pre/post workout snack or even just as a little treat during your day!
Ingredients:
One Medium Banana
2 eggs
(I also added a TINY amount of baking powder to make them fluffy & a little dash of Vanilla extract to add a little more flavour.)
How to make:
1. MASH THAT BANANA:
Chop the banana into tiny pieces and then squish it down with a fork until it is smooth and like a thick liquid (try to get rid of as many banana lumps as possible, but a few here and there won't do any harm). Using a hand whisk can be helpful to finish off the job.
(at this point you can also add any extra ingredients)
2. EGG TIME:
Crack those two eggs into another bowl and mix them together until the yolks and whites are completely combined.
3. ADD THEM TOGETHER:
It's time to mix the banana and eggs! When doing mine I used a hand whisk to ensure the two had completely combined.
4. PRE HEAT THE HOB:
Make sure your hob is heated and prepare your pan (I added a low calorie olive oil to the pan to avoid the chance of the pancakes sticking - you could instead add a bit of butter or vegetable oil.)
5. LET'S COOK 'EM.
Once your pan is hot (this is important, or we'll have issues) you can add your pancake mix (I advise making the pancakes small - I find it works better). Wait about 50seconds/1 min before flipping with a spatula, then wait a further 50 seconds or so before removing the pancake. Repeat until all of your mixture is used up! I managed to make 4.5 little pancakes.
TA DAAAA! Enjoy!
TIP: Want more protein? Add protein powder to the recipe!
**NOTE: THESE ARE DELICIOUS IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAY - THEY DO NOT TASTE LIKE YOUR AVERAGE PANCAKE!:) Play around with the recipe to make it suit you.
Thanks for reading! :)
Lots of Love,
