Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes are simple homemade pancakes with peanut butter and bananas. They are easy to make at home, soft and fluffy in texture, naturally rich in protein from peanut butter and they are packed with delicious peanut butter banana flavors!
Made with simple ingredients, they're naturally sweetened with ripe bananas (you can use any leftover overripe bananas also) and contain no refined sugar, making them a wonderful homemade breakfast for anyone looking to skip added sugar. These homemade pancakes are also naturally rich in protein thanks to the eggs and peanut butter. Since they're made with a generous amount of olive oil and peanut butter (we use ½ cup olive oil and 4 tablespoons (equivalent to ¼ cup) peanut butter), they're more calorie-rich than traditional pancakes, making them a hearty, satisfying breakfast that can help keep you feeling full for longer. Whether you're preparing breakfast or brunch for your family or friends or just yourself, these homemade peanut butter banana pancakes are easy to make and incredibly delicious!

Ingredients used to make the peanut butter banana protein pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

How to Make Peanut Butter Banana Protein Pancakes Without Sugar?
Prepare Pancake Batter:
Step 1 - Place the all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the baking powder and mix well so it is evenly combined with the flour.
Step 2 - Add the roughly chopped bananas, milk, vanilla extract, and creamy peanut butter to the bowl. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix everything together until well combined with the flour mixture.
Step 3 - Next, add the olive oil and the eggs to the middle of the mixture. Break the eggs with the spoon and beat them well before mixing them into the rest of the batter. Continue mixing until all of the ingredients are evenly combined to form a smooth pancake batter.
Tip: If you find it easier, beat the eggs in a separate bowl first before adding them to the batter. This helps them combine more evenly with the rest of the ingredients.
To Cook The Pancakes:
Step 4 - Heat a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium to medium-high heat and lightly brush it with a little butter or oil.
Step 5 - Pour one ladle of pancake batter onto the hot pan.
Step 6 - Cook for about one minute, or until bubbles begin to appear on the surface.
Step 7 - Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for about another minute, or until fully cooked. If needed, insert a toothpick into the center to make sure the batter is cooked through.
Step 8 - Transfer the cooked pancake to a serving plate.
Step 9 - Repeat with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
