Easy Protein Pancakes

If you used to read my old blog, you are probably quite familiar with the fact that I love protein pancakes and make them all.the.time.

I wanted to share the recipe so you can make it too.  Beware…there are only 3 ingredients and it’ll take you about 5 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

• 1 mashed banana OR 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, whichever you prefer (I find the mashed banana ones to be easier to flip)
• 1 scoop protein powder (I like Growing Naturals Vanilla Brown Rice Protein Powder)
• 2 egg whites

That’s it! Mix them all together, cook in a pan over medium heat, flipping halfway through.  Don’t flip if it feels flimsy or it will break.  Lower the heat and wait longer.  Low & slow 🙂

Also, the nutrition stats on this are pretty good! For the applesauce version:

• 36g protein
• 13g carbs
• 0g fat (I of course change that when I smother it in almond butter)

Stuff with fruit or chocolate chips and top with anything you like.  Here are some of my recent creations:

Almost always involves almond butter and honey on top!!

In fact, I think that this is what I’m going to have for dinner.  Even though I also had one for breakfast 🙂

What do you think? Do you like protein pancakes or have you tried them? What would you use for toppings?! Give me ideas!
