There's nothing like starting your day with an energy-boosting, protein-rich, and fiber-filled meal. And you can have that, my friends, with any of my protein pancake recipes.

Since we're talking pancakes, my Oatmeal Protein Pancakes are a great, simple way to get protein, as are my Banana Oat Pancakes.

On most busy mornings, I also like to whip myself up a Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake or a Green Protein Smoothie. But when I sit down for my meals, these protein pancakes are a wonderful treat. 


Ingredients For Banana Protein Pancakes

Banana: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your pancakes. I like to use the riper ones for the batter, and then I top with a sliced lesser ripe banana.

Rolled oats: I like to use rolled oats instead of flour in this pancake recipe. Get rolled oats or unfashioned oats and avoid the more processed instant oats.

Protein powder: Using Protein Powder as a substitute for flour in your pancakes is a fantastic way to boost the protein. It's important to get a high-quality protein powder, so I love my Cleanish Brand Vanilla Bean plant-based protein powder.

Flaxseed meal: This ingredient is completely optional to add a boost of nutrition to the pancakes.

Eggs: Eggs are the glue that holds these pancakes together. If you want to avoid eggs, you could use unsweetened applesauce or more mashed banana and milk.

FAQs

Can I Make Banana Protein Pancakes Without Protein Powder?

Yes, you can omit the protein powder and replace it with additional oats or almond flour. However, this will change the texture slightly and reduce the protein content. If you're looking to keep them high in protein, consider adding Greek yogurt or cottage cheese instead.

Can I Make These Pancakes Without Eggs?

Yes, you can substitute the eggs with mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water). This will slightly change the texture but still work well.

Can I Freeze These Pancakes?

Yes, these pancakes freeze well. Let them cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking. Store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months. When ready to eat, reheat in a toaster or microwave until warm.

Can I Use A Different Milk For Banana Protein Pancakes?

Yes, any milk will work, including almond, oat, or regular dairy milk. Just keep in mind that different types of milk can slightly alter the flavor and texture, but the recipe will still turn out great.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats, uncooked
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 scoops protein powder (I use this one)
  • 2 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, for cooking
  • sliced banana, for garnish
  • pure maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a blender, add all the ingredients except for the coconut oil.

  2. 2

    Blend this until very smooth.

  3. 3

    To cook these banana protein pancakes, heat a skillet or griddle over medium to medium-high heat and melt a little coconut oil. You could also use some organic, grass-fed butter.

  4. 4

    Once the oil is melted, pour about ⅓ of a cup of the batter onto the hot griddle.

  5. 5

    Cook the pancake for 2-4 minutes, until the edges begin to turn from a shiny to a dull and bubbles appear in the center of that pancake.

  6. 6

    Flip using a spatula and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Repeat with remaining batter.

  8. 8

    To serve, you can top with some fresh sliced bananas and drizzle with pure maple syrup.

NOTES

  • Make sure the blender mixture is completely blended together to ensure you have no clumps in your pancake batter.
