No school today!
With a snow day like this…I was inspired to whip up some morning comfort food for breakfast! I had some fun in the kitchen and experimented with the protein pancake recipe and created Chocolate Banana Pancakes…and yes, these are healthy!
Made a video to help take you through how to make chocolate banana pancakes.
Ingredients:
These are based on making a few small pancakes for Tyler and myself, some can be adjusted to your tastes.
1/2 cup Rolled Oats – I use Bob’s Red Mill
1 whole egg, 2 egg whites
Couple TB of low fat cottage cheese
sliced banana
Scoop of Prograde Lean Chocolate Meal Replacement
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of vanilla
Real Butter for cooking the pancakes
Toppings – fresh sliced fruit, cinnamon, heated berries, apple/apricot butter, all natural preserves…
~ use food processor to thoroughly blend pancake batter ingredients. Blend for about a minute.
~ heat butter in skillet over medium heat
~ add small batches of batter
~ watch carefully, when sides begin to brown carefully flip
Tips:
Do not let heat get too high – these little pancakes cook quickly.
the smaller the batch you add to the skillet, the better it cooks and the easier it is to flip!
Give these a try and let me know what you think!
Come up with some new flavors or ideas? Please do share below : )

Pancakes were GREAT!
What if you don’t have the prograde lean chocolate meal replacement stuff? Any other options? It would cost me an arm and a leg to get that shipped to me here.
I was under the impression that heating protein powders denatrues them. That you lose some of the nutrients when it is cooked. Any truth to this?
Thanks.

This is such a cool idea! I can make this in the blender even using 2 whole eggs. My protein powder is vanilla so I can add 1/4 cup of carob powder to make it chocolatey. Yum! And we can experiment with other flavors like cherries, pomegranate, pumpkin, berry, applesauce, and finely ground nuts!
