Makes: 10 4-inch pancakes
Serving Size: 1 pancake
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Nutrition Facts: 126 calories / 17.5g carbs / 6g protein / 4g fat
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (123g) fat free milk
- 1 small (101g) banana (mashed)
- 2 eggs (100g)
- 2 tablespoons (28g) canola or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons (42g) honey
- 1 cup (120g) whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop (31g) Optimum Nutrition vanilla whey protein powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (148g) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions:
- Whisk together the milk, mashed banana, eggs, oil and honey in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and mix just until combined.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. When the pan is warm, add ¼ cup batter to the pan. Sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of blueberries.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until you see a few bubbles around the edges. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the pancake is just cooked through. The pancakes cook very quickly on the second side, so be careful not to overdo them!
- Remove the pancake to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter. You should end up with 10 pancakes total. If you wish to speed up the process, use 2 skillets simultaneously.
- Enjoy warm with the toppings of your choice. Our favorites are fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nut butter (macros not included.)
Notes:
- This recipe also works for meal prep! Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Reheat in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel, for 30-60 seconds.
- If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to the pancakes.
- If you decide to use our favorite Optimum Nutrition protein powder you can use code “MACROSTAX” for 20% off your purchase!
