Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup liquid egg whites
- 1 scoop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder
- 1 banana, mashed
- ¼ cup oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1–3 tablespoons almond milk
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk: In a small bowl, whisk together the liquid egg whites and vanilla protein powder until the protein powder is fully dissolved. Using a whisk works best to get a smooth consistency.
- Combine: Stir in the mashed banana, oat flour, and baking powder into the egg white mixture. Add chocolate chips if using. If the batter feels too thick, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Cook: Spray a medium non-stick pan with cooking spray and heat over low-medium heat (around setting 3 on a stove). Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake into the pan. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface, about 3-5 minutes.
- Flip: Carefully flip the pancakes once the edges are set and bubbles have formed to avoid breaking. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until pancakes are cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, peanut butter, or extra chocolate chips. This recipe makes 4-5 pancakes.
- Store: Pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute before serving. If frozen, thaw before reheating.
Notes
- Use a low-medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes.
- Adding almond milk helps adjust batter thickness for better pancakes.
- The batter should have a pourable but thick consistency.
- These pancakes are ideal for a high-protein, low-fat diet.
- Optionally customize with your favorite syrup, nut butters, or fruit toppings.
