- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- Combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk them well.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mashed banana, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and molasses.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra warmth, add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the dry ingredients.
- If the batter seems too thick, add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Use a ripe, spotty banana for the best sweetness and texture.
