Banana Protein Pancake Recipe

Serves: 8 small pancakes
Time: 10–15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (or unflavored)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or coconut oil for the pan


    Instructions:

  • Blend the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine banana, eggs, oats, cottage cheese, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth (about 30 seconds).
  • Heat the Pan: Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook for 1–2 minutes more.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Top with sliced bananas, almond butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Great with a side of turkey bacon or a post-round iced coffee!

Optional add-ins:

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Chia or flax seeds
  • Blueberries

Par 4 Prep Tip:

Double the batch and freeze extras between sheets of parchment paper. Just pop in the toaster or microwave for a quick weekday breakfast!
