If you’re anything like me, you love bananas but, you can never seem to eat the whole bunch before they go brown (granted-I am a little picky and don’t like them even a little too ripe).

You also don’t want to be wasteful and throw away a perfectly good banana just because you don’t like them too ripe! The perfect solution: Banana pancakes!

Here’s my tried and true banana pancake recipe. These banana pancakes are perfect for an easy breakfast or a midday snack. You can even make a bunch of them and store them in the fridge for the week so you have some on hand for a quick and easy bite!

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana

• 2 eggs

• dash of cinnamon

• dash of salt

• 1/4 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 cup of flour of choice (I like almond flour, but any will do!)

• Add extras like chocolate chips, chocolate nibs, or any type of nut (optional).

Directions:

• Mash banana in a mixing bowl, then add eggs and mix

• Add baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, mix thoroughly

• Add in flour of choice and any optional add-ins you want. Mix one last time

• Scoop 1/4 cup at a time in to a buttered skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side (times will vary)

• Top with peanut butter, almond butter, or any butter of choice and enjoy!!

These high protein banana pancakes are not only a delicious and satisfying breakfast option but also a fantastic way to start your day with a nutritious boost. Packed with protein and natural sweetness from bananas, these pancakes provide the perfect balance of taste and health benefits. Enjoy them topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt for an extra burst of flavor!
