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. I have tested both and enjoyed the taste with each one.
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.
The nutrition information included is calculated for one pancake and includes the use of vanilla protein powder.
