Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 65 g banana
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 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 g banana with a fork.
  • Add the remaining of the ingredients and mix with a whisk until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
    2 egg whites, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 teaspoon chia seeds, ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 Tablespoon oat flour
  • 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.
