Banana Protein Pancakes
Here’s another healthy breakfast recipe that you must try. Again, they are from Peanut Butter Fingers blog, and they’re a big-time winner! These pancakes are nearly identical to the healthy protein pancakes I’ve made before. The only difference…. these have a mashed banana, which I am a huge fan of!
As far as nutrition, this recipe is just about as healthy as you can get! Great for diabetics, like my uncle Bobby, these have no added sugar. Rolled oats provide for a source of whole grains, egg whites are 0g of fat & 17 calories each, cottage cheese packs 15g of protein per 1/2 cup serving, and the banana is your source of fruit!
I like to top these pancakes with 2 teaspoons of pure maple syrup, which from my calculations, is only 35 calories. Finish them off with a handful of raspberries, and you’ve got a colorful, delicious and extremely healthy breakfast.
Enjoy!

Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and a handful of raspberries.
