Strawberry Banana Pancakes

I don't know about you, but I love the classic combo of strawberry and banana.... So today I whipped up some healthy Strawberry Banana Pancakes! These pancakes are super fluffy, high in protein and pair great with a variety of toppings! These are so delicious, they're like eating desert for breakfast! You would never guess these are 100% clean! The taste sort of reminds of  strawberry birthday cake...Can you say yum?!
I was hoping the pancakes would turn out a pretty pink color, like the batter, but they turn a light golden brown once cooked.. :( But that's ok! They are still bursting with strawberry flavor!Strawberry Banana Pancakes:
(Makes 1 serving)
1/2 a mashed banana 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries1/4 cup egg whites1 scoop Protein Powder (I use Perfect Fit)1/4 cup old fashioned oats1 Tbs. coconut flour1/4 tsp. baking soda1/2 tsp. stevia 2 Tbs. almond milk (add more if batter is too thick)Combine all ingredients in a food processor. I like to add a few ingredients at a time so the food processor isn't too full, but it's up to you. (so add fruit, blend, add eggs and protein, blend and so on.)Spray a non stick pan with coconut oil cooking spray and cook on medium heat for a few minutes each side. I made five mini pancakes, but you could make them larger.Nutrition Facts for JUST the pancakes (not including any toppings):285 cals, 27 g protein, 43 g carbs, 3 g fatNow time top them!!!!! I layered mine with the other half of my banana and Peanut Butter and Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter! Perfect combo! Quick tip: If you like your peanut butter extra gooey so you can drizzle it like icing, microwave it for 10 seconds!






These would also be great topped with extra fresh strawberries, a homemade strawberry compote, almond butter, walnuts... the options are endless! So have fun! If you make this recipe, post a picture on Instagram and tag me @beautyandbananas!
