Instructions

Mash the bananas in a large bowl and then whisk in the eggs.

Stir in the protein powder, flaxseed, almond milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple. Stir until fully mixed together. If batter seems a bit too thick, add more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium LOW heat and grease with cooking spray or coconut oil. Pour the batter onto the skillet ~1/2 cup at a time and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side. Flip gently and cook for an additional 6 minutes on the other side.

Repeat with all of the batter.

Top your pancakes with chopped apple, chopped buts, and a bit of maple syrup/ agave.

ENJOY!! :)

Notes

These are NOT like normal pancakes. The consistency is a bit denser and therefore they NEED to be cooked at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time than your average pancakes. If you try and cook them on a high heat for a quicker time, they’re fall apart a bit. Additionally, they don't hold together quite as well so be careful when you're flipping them.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dice Apples Small for Even Distribution 🍎
Cut your apples into small, uniform pieces (about ¼ inch) so they cook evenly and distribute throughout each pancake without creating dense spots.
Let Batter Rest Before Cooking ⏱️
Allow your mixed batter to sit for 5 minutes before cooking—this helps the ground flaxseed absorb liquid and creates fluffier, more cohesive pancakes.
Toast Spices Beforehand for Depth 🌟
Lightly bloom your cinnamon and nutmeg in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the batter to intensify their warm flavors and eliminate any raw spice taste.
Use Medium-Low Heat for Protein Pancakes 🔥
Protein powder requires gentler heat than traditional pancakes; cook on medium-low to prevent the outside from browning too quickly before the inside sets, ensuring even cooking.
Add Spiced Apples on Top After Flipping 🥄
Reserve some diced apples with cinnamon to sprinkle on the cooked side before flipping—this creates caramelized pockets of flavor that won't sink to the bottom.
