Whey Protein Banana Pancakes. I have tried versions of banana protein pancakes using protein powder in the past but they tend to be dense and unappealing. One day a light went off in my head…whipped egg whites! By beating the egg whites alone, like you would for a meringue, it would make the batter much lighter and airier.
Boasting with protein from the whey, egg whites and Greek yoghurt.
And with natural sweetness from the banana - no sugar added.
To sweeten your pancakes, instead of using sugar, use ripe bananas instead.
