These gluten free Banana Protein Pancakes are so easy to make - and the perfect breakfast or brunch! Serve them up with Greek yoghurt, maple syrup and extra bananas!
Servings: 2 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 50 g gluten free oats
- 2 large eggs
- 40 g Greek yoghurt (I used 0% fat)
- 30 g vegan protein powder (see notes for recommendations)
- 75 ml gluten free oat milk (or other dairy free milk)
- 2 tsp gluten free baking powder
Instructions
- Peel the banana and add to a blender along with all the other ingredients. Blitz until it forms a smooth, thick batter. The batter should be thick enough that it spreads a little when poured, but not a lot. If it's too thick, add a little extra oat milk. If it's too thin, add a tiny bit extra protein powder or ground oats.
- Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. I like to spray mine with a little cooking oil to stop them sticking.
- Pour a small amount (around 2 tbsp) of batter at a time onto the pan and use the spoon to spread into a circle shape.
- Cook for one minute, then carefully flip and cook for a further minute. They should be golden brown on each side and fluff up nicely.
- Remove from the pan and repeat until you've used up all the batter. Stack them up with your favourite toppings and enjoy hot!
Notes
- A Note On Protein Powders: I always use a vegan protein powder for Protein Pancakes - my favourite are pea or chickpea-based protein powders. If you use a whey protein powder you may need to add less milk as these tend to form a runnier batter.
- Step-by-Step Photos: Check out the blog post above for step-by-step photos of this method and my top tips for making these protein pancakes.
- Storing and Freezing: This recipe is best made fresh. However, if you wanted to meal prep these pancakes you can keep them in the fridge and reheat in the microwave. The batter will also keep (uncooked) in the fridge for a day-or-so.
