FITSPIRATIONAL PROTEIN PANCAKES!! (Eggless)





I woke up this morning craving pancakes… only to go downstairs and find out we have no eggs! Rather then get in my Mustang and drive ALL the way to the store, I decided to get creative :) 

I came up with a delicious and healthy spin to the average pancake and it contains absolutely no eggs!

Adding the banana, pecans, and protein powder makes it packed with protein and potassium! Plus some chopped up strawberries for a fruity spin (As you can see, Locket LOVES strawberries and cooking with me in the kitchen haha.)
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup of pecans
  • 2 table spoons of protein powder
Combine dry ingredients and mix slightly. Add milk, oil, water, and vanilla. Whisk together until just combined. Be careful not to over mix - it should still be slightly lumpy. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. While pan is heating, add butter. As soon as the butter is melted, add melted butter to pancake batter.Return pan to stove and stir butter into batter.When pan is hot, with a measuring cup or ladle, pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface. Carefully flip pancakes with turner/spatula and cook until golden brown.
So if you ever want to get creative in your kitchen and put a healthy spin on the boring average pancake, whip these up!
