Print Recipe

Light and airy pancakes with peanut butter richness and natural sweetness from bananas, perfect for a quick, satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky, natural preferred)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla-flavored protein powder
  • 3/4 cup oat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or almond milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Optional: handful of chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth with a few small lumps remain (2-3 minutes).
  2. Add peanut butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until uniform and creamy (1-2 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until just combined; batter should be thick but pourable. Add more milk if too thick.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until a drop of water sizzles.
  6. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  7. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve immediately with desired toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. Use medium heat to avoid burning. For extra fluffiness, whip egg whites separately and fold in last. Optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts can be folded in gently.
