Matcha Pistachio Pancakes Recipe by Danielle Bear (@cacaoforcoconuts_)
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 4 Tbsp scoops protein powder (*I used matcha protein powder)
- 2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp ground flax, 5 Tbsp water)
- 1.5 - 2 Tbsp almond milk
- 1 Tbsp JEM Organics Pistachio Ginseng Cashew Butter
- 1 tsp spirulina
- Optional: small handful of spinach
- Note: You can also do 3 Tbsp regular protein powder and 1 Tbsp culinary matcha powder
Directions
- Make the flax egg mixture, set aside.
- In a bowl, mash the banana.
- Add in the protein powder, spirulina, nut butter and flax egg.
- If you add spinach, add the mix to the blender along with almond milk and spinach. If you are skipping spinach, add the almond milk directly to the bowl and mix until powder is all incorporated.
- Heat up a skillet and lightly oil.
- Make your pancakes!
- Top with more JEM Pistachio Ginseng Cashew Butter, pistachios, kiwi and buckwheat!
