Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Flourless Pancakes

Ingredients

Peel ripe bananas. Mush to smooth consistency. Combine remaining ingredients. Mix well to create batter. Cook on greased pan/griddle over low/medium heat. Flip after pancakes rise. Cook for another few minutes. Then enjoy with toppings of your choice.

Note: I did not find the need to add any additional sugar. The bananas are sweet when ripe, and the protein powder already contains a bit of sugar.

Very Vanilla Protein Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
  • 2 scoops of Proflex Pro Organic Pea Protein Powder
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin spice
  • 1 1/4 cups of oat milk (or water)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons of melted butter

In a large mixing bowl, sift flower, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Then slowly add in the wet ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth constancy.

Heat up pan, or griddle to medium/medium high. Lightly oil, or spray with your favorite nonstick spray. Pour batter, in small batches onto hot surface. Flip once bubbles appear. Brown on both sides, serve hot with maple syrup honey, or agave.

Old fashioned Pancakes, with a twist

  • 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups of milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons of melted butter

The Twist – which can vary depending on what you have available, or what you’re craving! Below are some ideas to add on. Try one item, or multiple at once!

  • Sub 1/2 cup of the flour with protein powder. I love the chocolate, and the kids love the berry
  • Lemon zest (thanks uncle Thom), it adds a nice flavor, and lightens up the cakes
  • 1/2 cup of berries – mixed, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, or whatever is fresh in your area
  • 1 banana, cut in two long ways, and then sliced
  • Chocolate syrup, or coco-powder
  • Strawberry syrup
  • Chocolate candy: from kisses, to M&M’s, to broken up candy bars. They are all great sugar bombs for the littles.
  • Skittles
  • Sprinkles
  • Spices: Pumpkin spice, Cinnamon
  • Extract: 1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, almond
  • Marshmallows

In a large mixing bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Then slowly add in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until you have a smooth constancy.

Heat up pan, or griddle to medium/medium high. Lightly oil, or spray with your favorite nonstick spray. Pour batter, in small batches onto hot surface. Flip once bubbles appear. Brown on both sides, serve hot with maple syrupy, or agave.

Note: if adding in sprinkles, or smaller candy: don’t add into the batter, as they will just disappear, and turn the batter a different color. I prefer to drop on top, after pouring batter onto surface.

Don’t have all the ingredients, have a mix, but want to jazz it up? Try sparkling water, or lemon lime soda in place of water. Then add in some the items listed as a twist!
