Servings: 6 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 egg
- 190 ml milk
- 150 g oats
- 1 scoop Impact Whey Protein (Chocolate)
- 25 g cacao
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 100 g cream cheese
- 8-10 g Impact Whey Protein (Desired flavor, for the frosting)
- 1-2 tbsp. Milk (for the frosting)
- A couple drops red and purple food coloring
- Edible glitter (optional)
- Squirt whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
First, add all of the pancake ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Next, preheat a non-stick frying pan, add a little low-fat cooking spray or oil, and then pour about 1/6th of the pancake batter into the pan. Cook for 1 & a half minutes on one side, flip, and then around a minute on the other side.
Repeat for the remaining batter.
To make the frosting, add the cream cheese to a bowl along with your desired flavor of Impact Whey Protein and mix until completely smooth. Then split the mixture into 2 smaller bowls – leave one frosting white (if white), but add a few drops of red and blue food coloring to the other. Stir through until you get a purple color, adding a little bit of milk if you need to loosen the consistency.
Now build your stack – layer the pancakes with the white frosting between each one, then add the purple frosting at the top.
To finish off, spray with edible gold glitter and add a squirt of whipped cream. Magic.
