About This Recipe

These Cinnamon Plantain Protein Pancakes are packed with healthy fats, protein, and carbs making them a perfect post-workout meal!

Ingredients

• 1 large brown plantain (150 grams)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 heaping scoops Ka'Chava Vanilla Protein Powder
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• salt, to taste
• avocado oil, for greasing (coconut, ghee, or butter work too)
• optional toppings: butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, cinnamon

Instructions

1. Add the plantain and almond milk to a Vitamix or blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
2. In a medium sized bowl, beat the eggs. Add the blended plantain mixture and mix together. Add the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with avocado oil to grease the pan. Once hot, using a 1/3 cup as a scoop, scoop mixture into the pan. You may need to spread it out a little/make it into a circle. Cook 2-3 minutes, flip, and cook for another minute. They won't bubble that much like regular pancakes, so just make sure to watch them so they don't burn.
4. Top with toppings of choice.
5. Enjoy!
