(Less than 250 calorie breakfast)
INGREDIENTS:
*1/4 cup egg white
*1/2 banana
*1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used Body Fortress Super Whey Protein – Vanilla)
*2 tbs vanilla almond milk or skim milk
*1 tsp ground cinnamon
*1 tbs ground flax seed
DIRECTIONS:
1. Mash up your banana first, make sure it is quite ripe or else this could be hard…
2. Then add all the goods and mix it up!
3. Use a non stick pan and spray with cooking spray, put on low-medium heat
4. Dollop the batter onto your pan (I made mine in tablespoon portions so I could eat more mini pancakes)
5. Once it begins to bubble (took about 30 sec – 1 min), flip over and let sit for about another 20-30 sec.
6. Slide off of pan and enjoy! This makes exactly 1 serving. I got 9 mini pancakes out of this, each about 3.5” diameter.
TASTE:
I was seriously surprised at how easy this was to make. It also tasted like I was eating pancakes from a powdered mix. That sensation of eating bread was definitely there. You’ll love this. Top with sugar free jam and light butter if you’d like!

Not just particularly for this recipe, but how do I know what kind of whey protein to buy?! I’ve recently been doing more weight/functional training in addition to my regular yoga practice/light cardio (gym machines) regimen. I’m trying to tone up a bit but all the reviews about whey protein have scared me! Any guidance?!
these are SO good. I made mine with chocolate whey protein powder, so they were chocolate banana pancakes! looooove
Hey i happen to be allergic to the one thing that you have in all of your pancakes….. BANANAS!!! & while i loath them i am not willing to die. So i was wondering if you had any recipes for pancakes without them and would they be gross or could i sub something else
Hi! Unsweetened applesauce is a great alternative to mashed bananas. I haven’t tried it in this recipe but I’m pretty sure it would work! Hope this helps!
I made these last night but with a chocolate protein mix and baked them in a muffin pan. Now the hubby has yummy breakfast snacks before he goes to PT on base!
Just made these with a tablespoon of baking powder, chocolate protein instead of vanilla, and no milk- still delicious!!! Thank you for the awesome recipe.
I made these this morning but added 2 teaspoons of unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder. So good! Adds about: 8 cal, 0.7 g fat, 2 g carb, 0.7 g protein.
so are these really filling?
Yeah I was skeptical too but they are actually really filling!!
I just made these for a late lunch / early dinner and they were fantastic! I feel so full and content. I used 1/2 c of blueberries instead of banana to sweeten them up. After I made the pancakes, I tossed the blueberries into the skillet with a tsp of light agave surup and then poured them on the pancakes–so YUMMY! thanks for posting!

Sounds absolutely delish!
Hi Cassey! About how many egg whites are actually in 1/4 of a cup? That’s been the only thing holding me back from trying this recipe!
1 egg generally = 1/4 cup of egg whites! (:
In a different recipe she said that 1/4 cup is the whites from two eggs. Hope this helped!:)
I just made it and it took me two eggs! I use large eggs. Hope that helps!
Excellent issues altogether, you simply received a brand new reader. What could you recommend in regards to your put up that you simply made some days in the past? Any sure?
These pancakes are amazing! Love that this recipe uses no flour or sugar. Would like to try adding apple sauce, pumpkin, or more banana in place of the eggs next time to make them vegan as well :)
yes so good!
