Ingredients
¼ cup coconut flour
2 tbsp Growing Naturals Premium Vanilla Rice Protein
1 tsp baking powder
½ mashed banana
½ cup liquid egg whites
½-3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your choice milk)
¼ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp lemon extract
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl, add your mashed banana with liquid egg whites. Add ½ cup unsweetened almond milk and mix until fully incorporated.
Transfer wet with the dry mixture and mix until fully combined. If batter is too thick, add an extra ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk. Whisk through the vanilla and lemon extracts and set aside to sit.
Preheat a frying pan on low heat. Once hot, pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to bubble. Flip and cook for an extra minute, until just cooked. Remove and continue cooking all the batter.
