Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 65 grams banana
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract (just a dash)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon oat flour or all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, smash the 65 grams banana with a fork.
- Add the remaining of the ingredients and mix with a whisk until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil or butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side.
- Repeat the process until all the batter is used, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve the protein pancakes hot and enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings.
