Hey clean eaters, or those who aspire to eat clean. So I am always looking for new recipes that are 1. quick & 2. easy or basic stuff I have in my house to make the dish. Found this lovely protein pancake recipe that is truly heavenly! Now if you are a pancake connoisseur and truly love your light and fluffy pancakes, this may not be for you. I enjoy pancakes every once in awhile and I like to find some great protein alternatives for my breakfast. This is a great take on a common breakfast delight. The banana and maple syrup truly make it taste like something I should not be eating! Hint: only tip I will give on this recipe is to make pancakes a little thicker. I double the recipe to make extras and heat up another morning. Enjoy!
