Ingredients
    Pancakes
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 30 g protein powder (vanilla; I love Truvani. Use the discount code "KATIE10" at Truvani for 10% off your order.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Streusel
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup monk fruit (or coconut sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened; or coconut oil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • Caramelized Bananas
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil)
  • 2 ripe bananas (medium)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
  2. 2
    Add the egg, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and fully combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If needed, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to loosen it slightly. Set aside.
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, combine the flour, monk fruit, softened butter, and cinnamon for the streusel. Use a fork to mix until small crumbs form. Avoid overmixing. Set aside.
  4. 4
    Slice the bananas into 1/4 to 1/2 inch rounds.
  5. 5
    Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the bananas, coconut sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste.
  6. 6
    Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, gently turning the bananas to coat them in the sauce. Let them caramelize until golden and glossy. Remove from heat.
  7. 7
    While those are caramelizing, heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease.
  8. 8
    Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook 2 to 3 at a time to avoid overcrowding. You should get 6 pancakes.
  9. 9
    Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle a small amount of streusel over each pancake. Let it sit for about 30 seconds, then carefully flip.
  11. 11
    Cook another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Flip once more briefly to soak up any melted streusel if needed.
  12. 12
    Stack the pancakes, spoon the warm caramelized bananas over the top, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately.
