Banana Date Protein Pancakes

Banana Date Protein Pancakes combine a handful of simple ingredients into a gluten free, vegetarian, packed with protein, breakfast recipe!

This week, I partnered up with my friends at Beaming to bring you another delicious recipe featuring their superfood protein powder.

Instead of a smoothie this time, I decided to whip up a healthy, protein-packed pancake that’s perfect post-workout! These pancakes only contain 5 ingredients (none of which are flour!) and pack almost 20 grams of protein per pancake.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 2 large eggs (whisked)
• ½ cup protein powder
• 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
• 5 dates (de-seeded & chopped)

Optional toppings

• ¼ cup peanut butter

Combine the bananas, eggs, protein powder and flax seeds together in a medium bowl.

Add the chopped dates.

Place a large skillet on the stovetop over medium heat, coat with cooking spray.

When hot, pour the batter into the skillet.

Cook 3-5 minutes, flip,  then cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

If you’d like to top the pancakes with the peanut butter “syrup”, place the peanut butter in a microwave safe dish. Heat for 60 seconds in the microwave, then pour over the pancakes.

This is one breakfast that will leave you filling full and ready to start your day!
