Then, cook them on a heated skillet until cooked through! I love adding some dairy-free chocolate chips to mine too 🙂

Toppings For Oatmeal Protein Pancakes

Toppings are probably one of the best parts about eating pancakes in my opinion. Here are some of my favorite protein pancake toppings!

Georgia Grinders Nut Butter: Cashew butter is out of this world! (use code “shh20” for free shipping on your entire order!)
Fresh Banana Slices
Fresh or Frozen Berries
Shredded Unsweetened Coconut or Flaky Coconut
Chocolate Chips
Pure Maple Syrup
Homemade Peanut Butter Protein Granola

The options really are endless! Be sure to share a picture of your toppings with me over on Instagram, I’d love to see 🙂

Gluten-Free Banana Protein Pancake Recipe

This banana pancake recipe is egg-free and gluten-free! You just need some gluten-free oats. And I just love how all you need to do is pop everything in the blender!

What Kind Of Protein Powder Should I Use For These Healthy Pancakes?

If you’ve been here a while, you know how much I LOVE using unflavored protein powder for my recipes. This gives my recipes a hidden protein boost without all the added protein powder flavor. For instance, recipes like my Cinnamon Streusel Baked Oatmeal, Cookie Dough Protein Bites, and Copycat Perfect Bars, all use unflavored protein powder!

So, my top suggestion is to use unflavored whey protein powder. I have tested these banana protein pancakes with vegan protein powder and sadly, they did not work. They came out way too mushy. So unfortunately I would say you can’t really sub any other protein powder in this recipe. BUT, you can sub 2 whole eggs to replace the whey protein powder!

Easy Banana Protein Pancakes (Made In The Blender!)

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 8 minutes

Total Time 13 minutes

Ingredients

2 Large/Medium Ripe Bananas (or 3 small ripe bananas)
½ Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (can sub milk of choice or water)
½ Cup Unflavored Whey Protein Powder (I don’t suggest swapping any other protein powder here. See Note 2. You may sub 2 whole eggs in place of protein powder)
1½ Cups Rolled Oats (or quick-cooking oats)
½ Tbs Cinnamon
⅛ tsp Pink Salt
2 tsp Baking Powder
Optional: ½ Tbs Coconut Sugar

Instructions

1. Pop all ingredients in blender and blend 30-60 seconds until smooth (I use my Vitamix). Scrape down sides if needed.

2. Grease a large skillet (this is my favorite skillet for pancake making) and turn on medium/high heat. Pour ¼ cup pancake batter on skillet (optional, add on some chocolate chips to each pancake) and cook pancakes 3-4 minutes each side until cooked through.

3. Top with your favorite nut butter, fresh berries, extra banana, pure maple syrup, or toppings of choice! Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Protein Powder: I highly recommend using unflavored whey protein powder because it gives these pancakes the perfect amount of fluff and doesn’t overpower them with “protein powder flavor.” I buy mine in bulk on Amazon and it lasts me forever! I have tried using vegan protein powder and they didn’t turn out well. They were too mushy and wouldn’t cook through. You can sub 2 whole eggs in replacement of the whey protein powder!
Can I omit the protein powder? I have not tested this, but I’m sure omitting the protein powder should work just fine. They whey protein powder gives these pancakes some extra fluff, so if you leave it out just be aware that your pancakes may be a little less fluffy. Let me know if you try this!
