Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • ½ banana ripe banana, mashed Adds natural sweetness and moisture; or use unsweetened applesauce for a lower-calorie option.
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder Provides structure and a protein boost; choose whey for fluffiness or plant-based for a creamy alternative.
  • 2 whites egg whites Acts as a binding agent and protein source; substitute with 3 tbsp carton egg whites or 2 tbsp flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup Imparts sweetness and flavor depth; feel free to swap for other liquid sweeteners if desired.
  • 1 dash cinnamon Elevates flavor; add more for a stronger spice kick.
For the Toppings
  • 2 tbsp PB Fit Mix with water to achieve a drizzle consistency; regular peanut butter can be a tasty alternative.
  • ½ banana sliced banana Provides additional sweetness and texture; any fresh fruit can be used.
  • Extra syrup + cinnamon Optional toppings that enhance sweetness and flavor for a delightful finish.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Protein Pancake Bowls
  1. In a greased, microwave-safe bowl (at least 16oz), mash ½ ripe banana until smooth. Stir in 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, 2 egg whites, 1 tablespoon of sugar-free maple syrup, and a dash of cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the batter is lump-free and well combined. If it feels too thick, add a splash of water to achieve a thinner consistency.
  2. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on high for 1 minute and 50 seconds to 2 minutes. Begin checking at 90 seconds; the edges should pull away from the bowl, and the center must be set and not rubbery.
  3. Once microwaved, allow the bowl to rest for a full minute. This pause will help the pancake bowl finish cooking evenly and set the texture, resulting in that soft, fluffy bite.
  4. After resting, spread 2 tablespoons of prepared PB Fit over the pancake surface for a creamy topping. Fan out banana slices on top, drizzle with extra maple syrup, and dust with additional cinnamon.
  5. Enjoy your Maple Protein Pancake Bowls immediately for the best experience. Serve it right in the cooking bowl, reducing cleanup time, and savor the warm, fluffy goodness.
