Banana Pancakes with Hazelnut Drizzle 

I love making these pancakes during my luteal phase, especially on days when I don’t feel like eating “just eggs” for breakfast. They are a delicious way to switch things up while still getting a good amount of protein.

The pancakes are naturally high in protein thanks to the egg and protein powder. If you don’t use protein powder or simply don’t like it, you can still increase the protein content by adding two extra egg whites. Just keep in mind that you may need to adjust the dry ingredients slightly so the batter doesn’t become too runny.

And of course, don’t forget a couple of drops of vanilla extract

I love having these pancakes with my favourite homemade granola. If you’ve been following me for a while, you already know this is a BIG obsession of mine. And of course, I can’t forget the nut butters – especially my favourite (and probably the most expensive one :D), hazelnut tahini. It’s the perfect finishing touch alongside some fresh banana slices.
