Pancakes made of bananas and almond butter?? Enough said. The protein here comes from the eggs, which also give these sweet, nutty pancakes a light, crepe-like texture.

Recipe information

Yield
4 servings

Ingredients

2 large, very ripe bananas

1/2 cup smooth almond butter

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Sliced banana and cocoa nibs, for serving

Preparation

Step 1
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Step 2
Whisk in the almond butter, then add eggs one at a time, making sure each is thoroughly incorporated into the mixture.
Step 3
Stir in the cinnamon.
Step 4
Heat a large cast-iron (or ceramic skillet) over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot enough that a drop of water splashed on it sizzles and bounces, add the coconut oil.
Step 5
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving room for them to spread.
Step 6
Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom is set, before flipping. Cook on the opposite side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 7
Serve topped with sliced bananas and cocoa nibs.
