minutesIngredients
1/2 medium banana
3 eggs
1/4 cup steel oat flour
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop collagen powder
1 tbsp flax seeds
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, separate the egg white from the yolk. Add the yolk to the mashed banana and set the egg white aside.
- Stir in the oat flour, collagen powder, and flax seeds into the banana and egg yolk mixture. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with ghee, coconut oil, or butter. Pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Once cooked, sprinkle cinnamon powder and a pinch of Himalayan salt over the pancakes as a topping.
Notes
- Bananas: Bananas are a source of carbohydrates and natural sugars, which contribute to the overall calorie content. Reducing the number of bananas can lower the calorie count.
Whole Eggs: Eggs are rich in protein and fats, both of which add calories. They also provide essential nutrients like vitamins A and D.
Steel Oat Flour: This ingredient adds carbohydrates and fiber, contributing to the calorie content. It’s a good source of complex carbohydrates.
Collagen Powder: While primarily a protein source, it does add calories. It’s beneficial for skin, hair, and joint health.
Flax Seeds and Hemp Seeds: These seeds add healthy fats and protein, which increase the calorie count. They are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Almond Milk: Depending on whether it’s sweetened or unsweetened, almond milk can vary in calorie content. Opting for unsweetened versions can reduce calories.
Toppings (Chia Seeds, Raw Cacao, Fruits, etc.): These add additional calories, particularly if using larger quantities of fruits and cacao. They also provide antioxidants and additional nutrients.
