Banana Walnut Protein Pancakes

This is a classic that NEVER gets old! :)

I happened to have some ripe bananas at hand and I thought I’d whip up a batch that I could eat over the next couple of days. Just reheat them in the morning for a quick breakfast, or take them with you to work and microwave them for a minute for a delicious lunch.

If you ask me, pancakes are great any time of day! Enjoy! ;)

Ingredients (makes 6-8 pancakes)

Dry ingredients

• 1/2 cup flax seed meal

• 1 cup oat flour (gluten-free)

• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

• 1 tsp. baking soda

• 1/6 tsp. salt

• 2 scoops whey protein powder (I used Vanilla flavor)

• 2 tsp. stevia or sukrin gold

• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg (optional)

Wet ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas (mashed)

• 1 whole egg

• 1/2 cup milk (lactose-free or any you prefer)

• 1 tps. vanilla extract

• 1 tbs. oil (coconut, macadamia nut, any you prefer)

Optional add-ins: chopped walnuts.

Possible substitutes: If you don’t have protein powder at hand, then leave it out and adjust the 2 missing scoops by adding 1/2 cup oat flour.

Method

• Make your flax seed meal by grinding flax seeds in a blender till powdery, then put in medium bowl.

• Add all dry ingredients to medium bowl and mix well.

• In small bowl mix all wet ingredients, then fold into medium bowl and mix till batter is smooth.

• Mix in any add-ins here.

• Heat non-stick pan on medium heat, you don’t want it to be too hot. Use cooking spray if you think your pan might have tendency to stick.

• Give each side approximately 1 minute and remove from heat.

• Top with organic maple syrup and walnuts

• Enjoy :)
