These banana pancakes are a quick, healthy, protein-packed recipe ideal for breakfast or a satisfying snack. Bananas provide slow-releasing energy and provide sweetness without the need for added sugar. Oats are loaded with soluble fibre that helps fuel the good bacteria in our gut and improve overall health, as well as lower cholesterol levels. Eggs are a perfect protein source helping to keep us full and provide the body with all the essential amino acids it needs. They’re also a natural source of key nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E and B12 and antioxidants.
