3-Ingredient Protein Pancakes
You all know how much I love pancakes. I have made so many different pancake recipes over the years that it is hard to keep track of. However, I just realized that the one pancake recipe I haven’t ever tried is a simple, 3-ingredient protein pancakes!
OK, so I may be fibbing a little bit. There are only 3 main ingredients in these pancakes: Macro1 Nutrition ONE Protein blend (yes, it must be a blend. Whey will NOT work) eggs, and a ripe banana. I don’t really count the cinnamon (optional), baking powder and salt as ingredients. Anyway, they are super quick and easy, gluten free and packed with protein!
Many of you readers may know by now, but I started my own protein powder company in an effort to make the best baking and cooking protein on the market. You can check it out here!
The best part is that once you make them, you can pretty much top them with any toppings you desire. It can be peanut butter and chocolate chips like I did, or maybe some fruit and Greek yogurt, or even some nutella if you are really craving something sweet.
All in all, these pancakes have over 35 grams of protein. About 25 grams from the protein powder and then another 10-12 from the eggs. You can’t beat that!
