Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 very ripe banana
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g. soy milk)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup protein powder (e.g. rice protein)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Toppings and Cooking

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil (for the pan, add a bit for each batch of pancakes)
  • 2 teaspoons peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • banana slices

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana: In a bowl, mash the peeled very ripe banana until smooth to form the base of your pancake batter.
  2. Add plant-based milk: Pour in 3/4 cup of unsweetened plant-based milk and whisk quickly to combine with the mashed banana.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: Add 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup protein powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder to the bowl. Whisk the mixture until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and fluffy.
  4. Prepare pan and cook pancakes: Heat a flat pan or griddle over medium-low heat and brush or spray it with canola oil. Using a small ladle or ice cream scoop, pour portions of the batter onto the pan. Cook until you see bubbles forming in the center and the edges look set, then flip each pancake gently with a spatula. Cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Repeat for all batter to make approximately 6-7 pancakes.
  5. Serve with toppings: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate, then drizzle with peanut butter and maple syrup. Finally, top with fresh banana slices for added texture and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness and better texture in the pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring pancakes cook through.
  • You can substitute the protein powder with your preferred plant-based protein, such as pea or hemp protein.
  • For extra flavor, add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter.
