Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 large very ripe banana broken in half
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk optional
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon clean vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips recommended Enjoy Life brand

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Gather all of your ingredients and equipment. Make sure your banana is very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  2. In a mixing bowl, take the broken halves of the banana and mash them with a fork until smooth. A few small lumps are fine; they’ll add texture to your pancakes.
  3. Crack the two eggs into the mixing bowl with the mashed banana. Add the almond milk if you’re using it, and whisk everything together until fully combined.
  4. Add the almond flour and protein powder to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to over-mix as this can make your pancakes tough.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Place your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for a few minutes.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Once cooked, stack your pancakes on a plate and serve warm. Top them with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • These pancakes can be frozen for up to a month; stack with parchment paper in between.
  • For a vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free milk.
  • Experiment with toppings like fresh fruit or yogurt to customize your pancakes.
