GF & Vegan Banana Protein Pancakes
Valentine’s Day is coming up and I wanted to come up with a recipe that I would LOVE to receive from someone I love, so this is all of my favorite things in a breakfast food!
I am a SUCKER for waffles/pancakes on the weekends as well as making them for my meal prep for the week! This recipe is really easy to double (or triple) for a bigger crowd or for meal prep, and the heart shape is optional ;)
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/4 cup maple syrup
1.5 cups non-dairy milk
2/3 cup gf flour
3 scoops plant-based protein powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp ground flax
2 tsp baking powder
chocolate chips that were measured with your heart <3
Directions:
In a large bowl, add all the wet ingredients and mix well
Fold all the dry ingredients into the wet until a thick batter forms. You may need to add more milk if the batter is too thick
Stir in the chocolate chips
Preheat a frying pan on medium-low heat
Once warm, add 1/3-1/2 cup of batter per pancake to the pan and cover with a lid
Let cook for 4-5 minutes or until you can lift it off the pan with a spatula
Flip, and cook for an additional 2 minutes
Serve with extra banana and maple syrup on top or store in the freezer for later meals!
