I admit it. I don’t always love eggs. So, when this whole eggs and banana make a pancake thing kind of makes me happy. The two ingredient pancake that’s floating around the internet, isn’t bad, but if you ask me these Banana Berry Protein Pancakes are better. You only need like 2 more ingredients for a pancake that is shall we say… more pancake-ey? They also pack 28 grams of protein so take that eggs!
The protein powder I use in these pancakes is the Tone it Up brand from Target. I find it to be super affordable compared to others I’ve tried and it’s very clean. If you really want to make sure these are gluten free pancakes, be sure to use a certified gluten free protein powder. Tone it Up is gluten free and vegan. If you aren’t into the whole protein powder thing, add in 1/4 cup of oat flour instead. I give you instructions to make your own in the recipe notes.
These Banana Berry Protein Pancakes do have a softer texture than other pancakes, but all that means is that you need less topping to make them delicious. I drizzle a tablespoon of almond butter on mine. You can also use maple syrup. Add tons of berries on top for texture and flavor.
