Homemade Protein Pancakes with Bananas and Eggs

I’ll be honest, I’ve made a lot of pancakes in my life, but these homemade protein pancakes always surprise me with how easy and filling they are. We’re talking just three ingredients, and you’ve probably already got them sitting in your kitchen. No protein powder, no complicated steps, just simple food that works. You mash a ripe banana, crack in a couple of eggs, and toss in a spoonful of oats if you want extra texture. That’s it. The batter comes together in less time than it takes to preheat the pan. When they hit the skillet, the smell takes me right back to Saturday mornings when I was a kid, hovering near the stove and waiting for that first golden pancake to be flipped. They’re naturally sweet, thanks to the banana, and fluffy enough to make you wonder how something so small can be this satisfying. The best part is how versatile they are. Want them low calorie? Keep it simple. Need easy protein pancakes for a workout snack? Double the batch and keep a few in the fridge. Even if you’re into keto protein pancakes or hunting for protein pancakes low carb, these still deliver. And don’t even get me started on how cute they look when made as mini pancakes. Perfect bite-sized happiness. So, if you’re in the mood for something that feels indulgent but still light, these pancakes are the way to go. They’re proof that a few good ingredients can come together and give you exactly what you need.
