Banana Protein Blender Pancakes (Gluten Free & Paleo)

These pancakes are bananas! Banana Protein Blender Pancakes are a sweet way to start the day with all the nutrients and no guilt. A low-fat, naturally-sweetened, gluten-free recipe that’s also packed with protein and potassium. 

Blender pancakes are all the rave right now, but I was way too skeptical to try them. 

Whenever I think of pancakes and pancake batter, I think of “batter will be lumpy” and “do not over-mix”, because that’s what’s you need to keep in mind to make sure pancakes actually rise.

And of course, using a blender ignores both those factors.

Somehow though, maybe it’s the eggs, these pancakes actually work! 

The pancakes are super light, both in terms of consistency and calories, and I would say all those 8 pancakes would work for a single serving.

With low fats and high protein, they’re also quite a sweet way to treat yourself after a heavy workout.
