Naturally gluten free, these whole grain peanut butter banana pancakes are filled with protein-rich Greek yogurt to give you lasting energy.
I’m not sure if you noticed but I’m mildly obsessed with peanut butter and banana. I can’t resist the salty, nutty, sweet, and satisfying combination of these two energy-packed superfoods. It’s my favorite way to flavor smoothies, refrigerator oatmeal, and now, PANCAKES!
Forget high priced muscle protein drinks and energy bars, just grab a banana and a spoonful of peanut butter before your workout and you will get all the healthy carbs, protein and fat your body needs. On days that I’m able to workout mid-morning, these Peanut Butter Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes are my fuel-packed breakfast of choice.
Whole grain, protein-rich and naturally gluten free, these pancakes are full of flavor and a nice change from cold cereal or smoothies. I prefer unsweetened Greek yogurt but you could use any flavor including vanilla or even blueberry. My toddler likes them drizzled with a little pure maple syrup but if you are using ripe bananas they will be sweet enough on their own.
Your fork is waiting.
Peanut Butter Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 egg
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup oats
- 2 tablespoons PB2 Powder or natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon flax seed meal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth, scraping down sides with a rubber spatula if necessary.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour batter on heated skillet, about ¼ cup at a time, and cook until bubbles begin to form.

This recipe looks yummy! I keep trying to pin it, but keep getting this message: “We’re having some trouble talking to cdn4.thelemonbowl.com. Please try again later!” I have been coming back and trying for awhile now. Any suggestions?

Shoot – I think there was a brief outage. Is it working now? Would love it if you checked if you have time!

Thank you for following up on this. It did let me pin this time. Yay! But it didn’t go back to your page, just a blank one. I was able to use the arrow key at the top left of the screen to get back here though.

We made these this morning but couldn’t get the middle done – is that how they’re supposed to be? Kinda gooey?
Liz DellaCroce
I wonder if they just needed to cook a little longer? Or perhaps be spread a bit thinner? THey should be moist in the middle but not gooey per say. :)
