High-Protein Banana Protein Pancakes
I’m always looking for more high-protein breakfast recipes to add to my rotation, especially ones that are super fast to make for busy work and school mornings. When I created these amazing banana protein pancakes, I knew I’d found the one. They’re so easy—just toss everything into a blender, blend, and cook like regular pancakes. The best part? These banana protein pancakes are soft, fluffy, and absolutely delicious!
Here’s why I love these banana protein pancakes!
- The batter is made with banana, egg whites, oats and cottage cheese. Plus a few other necessary ingredients. I season with cinnamon and top with bananas! Yummy.
- The banana protein pancakes recipe makes around 8 pancakes which is a perfectly small batch for my family.
- I can make these in a few minutes and every one can eat them as they are ready. We do NOT all sit down for breakfast on school mornings…I mean if you do, do you really live in 2024? I think you might live in the 1950’s.
- Banana protein pancakes are high in protein: 8 grams per pancake!

Visual Process for Making Banana Protein Pancakes
Step 1
Blend It Together!
Add everything to the blender and blend until it is all well combined. Let it rest a bit which allows the oats to hydrate well. Making Banana Protein Pancakes is the easiest thing ever.
Step 2
Griddle Time
This makes around 6-8 pancakes depending upon how big you make them. I use around 1/3 of a cup per pancake which usually makes 7 pancakes. Flip them once and cook until done.
Step 3
Toppings Are A Must
I love to put raspberries or bananas on my banana protein pancakes. And then drizzle them with pure maple syrup.
