Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 egg
- 190 ml milk
- 150 g oats
- 1 scoop Impact Whey Protein (Chocolate)
- 25 g cacao
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 100 g cream cheese
- 8-10 g Impact Whey Protein (White Chocolate, for the frosting)
- 1-2 tbsp. Milk (for the frosting)
- Drops red and purple food colouring
- Edible glitter (optional)
- Squirt whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- First, add all of the pancake ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Next, preheat a non-stick frying pan, add a little low-fat cooking spray or oil and then pour about 1/6th of the pancake batter into the pan. Cook for 1 & a half minutes on one side, flip, and then around a minute on the other side.
- Repeat for the remaining batter.
- To make the frosting, add the cream cheese to a bowl along with the White Chocolate Impact Whey Protein and mix until completely smooth. Then split the mixture into 2 smaller bowls – leave one frosting white, but add a few drops of red and blue food colouring to the other. Stir through until you get a purple colour, adding a little bit of milk if you need to loosen the consistency.
- Now build your stack – layer the pancakes with the white frosting between each one, then add the purple frosting at the top.
- To finish off, spray with edible gold glitter and add a squirt of whipped cream. Magic.
