Banana Bread Protein Pancakes
The comforting flavors of cinnamon-spiced banana bread are reinvented for the morning in these fruit flapjacks.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 3 tablespoon agave nectar
- 2 bananas, mashed
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or 1 1/4 cups non-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon hemp protein powder*
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- cooking spray, for the griddle
Directions
- Place the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries together in a medium-sized bowl. Toss with the agave nectar until all of the fruit is thoroughly coated. Set aside.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Blend the mashed bananas, milk, vanilla, and canola oil together in a small bowl until only a few chunks of banana remain. Whisk the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the banana milk mixture into the well and stir together. (Add a little more milk if you prefer your pancakes thin.) Coat the preheated griddle or frying pan with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Drop ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles start to form, about 3-5 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook on the other side until the pancake is cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Serve with the fruit topping.
