Made the most AMAZING protein pancakes yesterday!

[eyeq]

Recipe:

• 1 mashed banana
• 1/4 cup of oats
• 1 egg
• 1 scoop chocolate ON protein powder
• 1 TBSP butter
• 2 TBSP peanut butter

Blend banana, egg, oats and protein powder together. Butter a pan and cook pancakes like normal. Makes about 3 medium pancakes. Melt peanut butter in microwave for 30 second then spread on top.

Turned out like this!

Adds up to be about 600 calories, 57 g of carbs, 32 g of fat and 45 g of protein total. I had a lot of leftover calories yesterday and decided to splurge on this! This would also make an excellent snack if eaten as a single pancake at a time.

@eyeq Anyone interested in how to make a low-carb microwavable protein pancake?

 

[dawn16]

@eyeq This may vary with your ingredients, but I calculated the calories at 663. But I used half a TBSP of butter instead of a whole TBSP, and that brought it down to 612.

Have to say, these taste/feel a lot better than I was expecting. Thanks for the recipe! I did add a little bit of baking soda, but haven't made them without so can't say if that improves them or not. Mine came out very fluffy.

@eyeq These three-ingredient cottage cheese pancakes are also pretty good, and 446 calories, 32.8 g carbs, 18 g fat and 37.5 g protein.

@cornelius1988 I will have to make these, I love cottage cheese! Thank you

@eyeq I've made a really similar version, with 1 banana, two eggs, 2 tbsp peanut butter, scoop of protein powder, and a bit of baking soda to make them fluffy. Works equally well as pancakes ANNNNND comes out cleanly in my waffle maker!

Sometimes I'll add a tsp of flax or chia if I feel like I'd need some extra fibre in my day.

 

[eyeq]

@larryb500 I wanted to add flax to these but didn't have any does it affect the texture at all?

 

[larryb500]

@eyeq I don't add much but haven't noticed a difference.

@eyeq Thanks for sharing!

@eyeq Everytime I make protein pancakes the texture is just so chewy and dense. How are these texture wise??

 

[lesstesty]

@genxjeff I'd try adding baking soda. I used that in my protein pancakes and they pretty much had the same texture as regular pancakes.

 

[eyeq]

@genxjeff I thought they were very similar to normal pancakes actually. I blended the crap out of them and I have a ninja blender, so maybe that helped? They were very fluffy pancakes

 

[genxjeff]

@eyeq Awesome! I have a ninja too, will try them

 

[eyeq]

@genxjeff Great! Enjoy

@eyeq This is a stupid question...but how much do the pancakes taste like banana?

 

[pianoplayer927]

@samarami You could try substituting pumpkin or applesauce.

 

[eyeq]

@pianoplayer927 I think pumpkin would be amazing in these with some cinnamon on top

 

[littlepenguin]

@pianoplayer927 I'll try that! The recipe sounds delicious but I'm allergic to banana.

 

[anon777]

@pianoplayer927 Or greek yogurt! I've been making similar ones with oats, chocolate protein, greek yogurt, eggs and cinnamon.

 

[redclayjamtime]

@anon777 sweet potato would be good too
