If you are after a quick and easy protein-packed breakfast recipe, like my Banana Strawberry Protein Shake, Strawberry Protein Overnight Oats, or High Protein Baked Oats, these blender banana pancakes are for you!
Why You’ll Love These Pancakes
The great thing with these pancakes is that you don’t need egg white or egg yolks to boost your pancake protein profile. All you need are natural plant-based ingredients. In fact, these protein banana pancakes are packed with plant-based proteins and naturally:
Flourless Dairy-free Egg-free Vegan With no added sugar as bananas do contain natural sugar from fructose.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need are four simple ingredients to make tasty banana pancakes with protein powder.
Old-Fashioned Oats – feel free to use a gluten-free certified brand if desired. Ripe Bananas – the ripest the sweetest the pancakes will be. Unsweetened Almond Milk or any non-dairy milk you like including soy milk, and coconut milk. Vanilla Protein Powder – I tested the recipe with pea protein powder or peanut protein powder, both provide similar results.
Add-Ons
Free to stir in some of the optional ingredients below to boost the flavor or fluffiness of the Banana Protein Pancakes.
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder for fluffier pancakes. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup 1-2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips
How To Make Banana Protein Pancakes
I recommend using a large blender jug for this recipe. In the pictures below you can see that I also tested the recipe with a NutriBullet, but the container is too small to perfectly blend the amount of ingredients required by this banana pancake recipe.
Serving
You can serve these vegan banana protein pancakes with delicious protein toppings like:
High-protein yogurt like soy yogurt. Protein chocolate frosting Peanut butter Almond butter
I personally love to serve them with extra banana slices, chopped pecans, berries, and maple syrup. Other toppings ideas are:
Berries – Blueberries, raspberries Banana slices Maple syrup Chopped nuts – peanut, pecan, or walnuts for a banana bread pancake flavor.
Texture
These banana pancakes are not fluffy pancakes, they are more dense and rich with a delicious banana oat flavor that reminds banana bread.
Storage Instructions
These banana protein pancakes are perfect for meal prep. You can cook the pancakes 1 or 2 days before and store them in the fridge in an airtight container. Another option is to freeze the pancakes in zip-lock bags and thaw them in the fridge the day before serving. To rewarm pancakes, place them on a hot pancake griddle or in a sandwich press.
