Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk them well.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed banana, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and molasses.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. 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.
