Fluffy Protein Banana Pancakes

1.In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

2.Add the protein powder, flaxseed meal, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, almond milk, eggs, and honey (if using) to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined and a smooth batter forms.

3.Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly due to the flaxseed meal.

4.Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.

5.Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

6.Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

7.Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

8.Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or yogurt.
