How to Make Banana Protein Pancakes

Here is a list of ingredients that you will need for this banana based protein pancake recipe.

  • banana
  • 1 scoop Premier Protein powder
  • almond milk
  • quick oats
  • eggs
  • baking powder
  • vanilla extract
  • Greek yogurt
  • For toppings, 1/2 cup chopped strawberries, sliced banana, chocolate chips, or blueberries

Grab all of your ingredients along with the protein powder and place them into a blender.

I like to use Premier Protein because it is 100% Whey Powder with a great nutritional profile: each scoop contains 30g of protein, 180 calories and 3g of sugar.

Set the blender for a one minute blend to get all of the ingredients mixed well together.

Step 1: Mix protein pancakes batter in a blender cup

Once everything is blended well, set aside and allow the protein powder pancakes mixture thicken over 2-3 minutes.

Heat the skillet, and make sure to let the skillet get very hot before pouring the batter.

Once the skillet is hot, start pouring small to medium sized pancakes. Don’t flip the pancakes until the batter has started forming small bubbles on the edges, and the edges start to turn a light golden brown. This should take approximately 1 and 1/2 to 2 minutes.

Step 2: Pour batter on a griddle and flip when edges turn golden brown

Flip the pancakes over and allow them to cook thoroughly on the other side.

After all of the pancakes are finished, top with your favorite toppings and a little maple syrup.

Can Protein Pancakes Help You Lose Weight?

The simple answer is yes. The protein may help boost your metabolism, which helps you burn calories. Those calories, once added up, may help you lose weight.

How Do I Store Protein Pancakes?

You can make these protein pancakes and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I love to make large batches of these pancakes and eat them throughout the week.

Are Protein Pancakes Healthy?

These high protein pancakes are a healthy version of your regular pancake recipe. They are made WITHOUT flour or added sugar, and instead use quick oats, banana, and greek yogurt.

What is your favorite way to grab a little extra protein in your diet?

Premier Protein powder provides that extra protein your body needs to fuel lean muscle and to burn fat. Not only that, but it blends easily and doesn’t leave a chalky taste like some other brands. Blend it, mix it, or bake it!
