Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • ½ banana ripe banana, mashed Adds natural sweetness and moisture to the batter; substitute with ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce for a lower-sugar option.
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder Provides protein content for muscle recovery; whey is best for fluffiness, while plant-based requires extra liquid.
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup Sweetens and enhances maple flavor; real maple syrup can be used for a richer taste.
  • Dash cinnamon Adds warmth and flavor; adjust according to your preference.
For Toppings
  • 2 tbsp PB Fit (mixed with water to drizzling consistency) – A protein-rich topping that mimics peanut butter; can replace with regular peanut butter if preferred.
  • ½ banana sliced Enhances sweetness and presentation for a delightful topping.
  • Extra syrup + cinnamon Perfect for garnish and added sweetness; optional for serving.

Equipment

  • Microwave-Safe Bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by greasing a microwave-safe bowl (at least 16oz) to prevent sticking. In the bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth, then stir in the protein powder, egg whites, maple syrup, and a dash of cinnamon. Mix until you achieve a lump-free batter.
  2. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 50 seconds to 2 minutes, checking the pancake at 90 seconds. You’ll know it’s ready when the edges start pulling away from the bowl and the center looks set but still fluffy.
  3. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!). Allow the pancake to rest for 1 minute.
  4. Using a spatula, spread the PB Fit over the warm pancake. Fan the sliced banana on top for presentation, drizzle with additional maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
