This light and fluffy protein pancake is packed with 26 grams of protein and zero added sugar. The perfect healthy breakfast treat!
Today, I’m sharing one of my latest favorite protein pancakes ~ my Banana Cream Protein Pancake 🥞 This recipe is loaded with 20 grams of complete protein, contains 0 grams of added sugar and doesn’t have ANY grains.
And did I mention that it’s absolutely drool-worthy?
I love making protein pancakes on days that I want more of a “chew-able” meal. Which I have to admit, about 90% of the time, I’m making a smoothie. But there are certainly those moments when sitting down to a cozy, delicious and satiating protein pancake sounds divine.
Recipe Highlights
- High protein: 26 grams per serving.
- No added sugars: Naturally sweetened with bananas and monk fruit extract.
- No grains: The perfect low-glycemic load swap!
Key Ingredient
Autum’s Vanilla Protein Powder
The sweetness in this protein pancake recipe comes from mashed banana and the zero sugar sweetener used in Autumn’s Protein Powder ~ monk fruit extract. Monk fruit is my zero sugar sweetener of choice because it adds a hint of sweetness without the weird after taste that stevia can have and without the bloating that sugar alcohols can cause.
And because we’re using my zero sugar protein powder instead of traditional grain-loaded pancake mix, we’re getting the added perks of an additional 20 grams of complete protein! So if you’re having difficulties hitting all of your protein needs, this is a delicious way to help boost your intake 😋
