Double Chocolate Banana Pancakes
Primal, nut free
My kids love pancakes! Fridays I don't have to be at the gym/work until 8:00 am so I get the kids ready for school. Mark does it every other day...yup! I like to make them something different on Fridays since I am not rushing out. Normally the kids eat bacon, eggs and strawberries for breakfast and occasionally Chloe will have steel cut oatmeal. I experimented a bit last week and came up with this light and fluffy pancake with a delicious chocolate and banana flavor. My recipe only has 4 ingredients...chocolate protein powder, eggs, bananas and arrowroot powder(optional). Check out the difference in ingredients between a box pancake mix and my pancake mix...

Caitlin's Double Chocolate Banana Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs whisked
- ½ cup Chocolate Protein Powder
- Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips or Cacao Nibs(optional)
- 1 tablespoon grass fed butter or coconut oil to grease pan
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder to thicken pancakes (optional)
- **you can also use 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder instead of chocolate protein powder.
Instructions
- Mix together bananas, eggs, arrowroot powder and protein powder until well combined.
- Place a pan over medium heat. Grease the pan. Once the pan is hot, add a large spoonful of the pancake mixture to the pan, about 3-5 inches wide.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the pancakes or sliced bananas.
- Once the pancakes begin to bubble, flip them. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Make sure you add more butter to pan each time you cook pancakes.
- Drizzle all natural maple syrup on top or sprinkle stevia. The protein powder has stevia in it so I don't think you need anything on top(: Yum.
