These healthy Banana Protein Pancakes can be whipped together in a matter of 10 minutes and only a blender is required!

In a blender, mix together all of the ingredients until combined and smooth.
Preheat griddle to medium-high. Spray with cooking spray. Using a tablespoon, scoop pancake mixture on the pan so it forms a medium circle (use about 2 heaping tablespoons for each pancake).
Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side or until edges start to harden and bubbles start to form on surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Top with sliced banana, peanut butter, chocolate chips, coconut and maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
For best results, use a very ripe banana to incorporate more sweetness into the pancakes.
You can use a whey or vegan protein powder for the purpose of this recipe. My favorite protein powder to use is this vegan Good Protein powder. It's so delicious and comes in lots of different flavors. My favorite flavors to use in these pancakes are Vanilla Milkshake and Salted Caramel!

You can use egg whites from a whole egg or purchase a carton of egg whites.
If the pancake batter is sitting for a while, it may start to thicken up slightly. You can thin it out by adding a bit of regular milk or a milk alternative such as almond milk.
