Peanut Butter Banana Protein Pancakes (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)
Hey guys, anyone want pancakes for breakfast?
Or lunch, or dinner, or even (my favorite) pancakes for dessert! I’m the type of person who doesn’t discriminate foods based on what mealtime category they fall into. I’ll mix and match what I like and eat any kind of food anytime of day. In fact, as I’m typing out this post I’m thinking about how good veggies sound for breakfast so I’ll probably go for something savory this morning. But pancakes, now pancakes are definitely a great example of a food that works well anytime of the day.
Also, I know I know I’ve emphasized my peanut butter affair over and over, but it’s been legit recently. All time high obsession! You get the point. Now for these pancakes I was focused on the protein aspect so the pancakes themselves actually have powdered peanut butter in them to give them their nutter-buttery-ness (<- I’m going to copyright this term, YES!)
I also used one of my favorite short-cuts and added some of the Kodiak cakes Protein waffle mix (you can buy it online) that I love using. By the way, I’m not being sponsored I just genuinely like it. The ingredients are pretty basic and I love the flavor it adds, however if you can’t get a hold of it where you live or you just prefer making these from scratch let me know and I’ll give you a version completely from scratch. Oh, and these are pretty easy to turn vegan if that fits your needs better.
Alright, and now we get into the toppings! Does anyone else get overwhelmed if they let their creativity run wild in this kind of thing? Maybe that’s just me. It’s just that there are endless possibilities! Some kind of nut butter is a no-brainer of course, and then you can add any kind of fruit, nuts, syrups, granola, chocolate, and then top it off with yogurt or whipped cream. The pictured pancakes were topped with some peanut butter, banana, vanilla greek yogurt, and a quick sauce of some extra powdered peanut butter for good measure.
Most of the time though, I’ll go straight for the berries and double or triple up the yogurt on the side, in a bowl, with some granola on top. Haha, so basically my favorite way to eat pancakes in reality looks like $#%*, but it tastes amazing! That’s what counts, right?
No matter how or when you like your pancakes, these are probably my favorites right now, but I won’t sit around trying to convince you all day. Try them out and let see for yourself and don’t forget to let me know what you think in the comments and even share a picture on your socials. I’d love to know what you like to add to yours!

Great food post as always @gringalicious. You never ever fail to impress. I saw there was a dumb ass or two that requested the recipe. It shows that they obviously do not read your posts. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much for the continued support @noboxes, you know I appreciate it
Nothing better than pancakes to start the week!!
I am so glad you like it. Sorry it took me 3 days to respond. Thanks @iveta
Wow It looks super tasty.....just perfect for breakfast
I am thrilled you liked it @robertsekhose, thanks so much for commenting
Hay Caramba! You remind me of what a foodie I am at heart. Another mouth watering post. I may just have to get out of my room and find something similar at the market down the road. Do you have an all time favorite desert dish that you make, or are known for by your loved ones? I used do a super rich banana bread, and also apple pie. When I had my house in Florida I think I spent more time in my kitchen than in my bedroom. I don't think I told you but I was personal chef for a very wealthy family in NY for 6 months. I taught myself proper cooking by downloading every Jamie Oliver video watching them 3 times over taking notes for two years while I was teaching English in Korea. So I really know quality food when I see it and I see it all over your blog! Thanks for sharing! -Dan
You're a very colorful guy. Personal chef, that would be fun for me, I could totally see me doing that. So, Jamie Oliver videos, interesting. Wow, teaching English in Korea, also very interesting. I gave consideration to teaching English in Chile, but the compensation opportunities were very low. Thanks so much for your awesome commenting. I apologize if I don't comment sufficiently on your posts, it's all I can do to keep up with my own blog, etc. Have a great Tuesday and we'll talk again soon, I am sure.
No all good. I know how this place can take up a lot of time. Appreciation is equally shown in a quick up-vote too especially when you're carrying SP like you have. Thanks for your comments. I learned at young age, I can't do just one thing, I get bored and depressed. For me the spice of life is learning and experiencing all I can. Yes teaching English in South America is crap for earning money. Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Shenzen China, and Now Vietnam pays quite well. The reason I left the private chef gig, is they underpaid me and treated me like a slave including demanding that I clean their toilets as part of the gig. Was ridiculous. I went back to Korea and started up my private lesson business again. That's where the money is at! No need to reply, I'm not offended, you are busy and I have to head down the coast of the Gulf of Thailand to Pattaya this afternoon. Have great day as well!
My Dad has been to Pattaya Beach. Very interesting
I like food buffets. But there in Pattaya it's a buffet of something else. Not my my thing. I'll have a post up sometime in the next month of "real life captured: Walking Street" What counts for normal there will be shocking to most.
I think I might know where you're going with that and it's good to leave it there
As usual you shared such a yummy dish my friend! peanut butter and banana goes so well together! You really got me salivating here! Wow!
Btw i really love the change you did on this one, you wrote the recipe and finally you discover how many are really reading the post and not just asking for the recipe to get your vote!!! Good one!
Thanks @progressivechef, yes, you are correct, I am noticing who is actually reading the posts. Without question, you and @creativewoman are dear followers and I appreciate that
Thanks so much for such a nice compliment my friend! I really enjoy discovering your recipes but more interesting for me is to read your posts, as I love how you write and pen the words, simply a pleasure to read!
