Cheap & easy recipes are my favorite kind of recipes, and the protein pancakes from Blogilates fit the bill (video). It's just 2 eggs and a banana! Plus, I've been craving chocolate chip pancakes recently, so I thought this would be a nicer alternative.
First, I peeled, sliced up, & mashed one banana:
Next, I added two eggs and whisked away! My batter was still pretty lumpy, though.
Finally, I just cooked it like regular pancake batter! Sprayed some Pam on there, flipped when bubbly, and voila! Two medium(ish) protein pancakes ready to eat!
As much as I loved how easy, cheap, and healthy this was, I did have a couple of gripes. I don't like maple syrup, so I ate these plain, which was maybe not the best idea. They were a bit bland and not convincingly pancake-y enough to satisfy my craving for pancakes. Perhaps whisking out the lumps would help, but some parts just tasted extra egg-y, which didn't help with the pancake illusion. All complaints aside, I think this was tasty for what it was, but I wouldn't classify is as a pancake per se. I'll definitely be making these again when I need a quick & easy fix!

Edit 5/12/14: I made these pancakes again for a power snack of sorts while studying, and I have a few things to add. This time, my banana was much more ripe, almost overripe, and I think that it helped a lot. There were less lumps in the batter because the banana was squishier, and there was more flavor because the banana was sweeter. I definitely prefer it this way!
