Snickerdoodle protein pancakes.
Eggs, banana, almond flour, and a chopped Snickerdoodle Genesee bar make a cinnamon-forward weekend pancake without adding protein powder.
Why this works
Small bar pieces add cinnamon flavor and chewy pockets to the batter. One current Snickerdoodle label lists 21g protein; eggs and almond flour add nutrition that varies by brand and size.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ripe banana (the spotty ones)
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 Genesee Snickerdoodle bar (chopped fine — about pea-sized pieces)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp grass-fed butter or ghee, for the pan
- Toppings: pure maple syrup, fresh berries, more butter
Method
- 1
Mash the banana in a medium bowl with a fork until mostly smooth — a few small lumps are fine, they melt in the pan.
- 2
Whisk in the eggs until fully combined. Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the batter is uniform — it should look like thick pancake batter, slightly grainy from the almond flour.
- 3
Fold in the chopped Snickerdoodle bar pieces. Don't overmix — you want the bar distributed but still in identifiable chunks.
- 4
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium-low (the almond flour browns fast — don't push it past medium). Melt the butter and tilt to coat.
- 5
Pour 1/4-cup portions into the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, flipping when the edges look set and a few bubbles form on top. The bar pieces caramelize on the pan-side — that's the texture moment.
- 6
Stack, top with maple syrup and berries, and eat hot. Pancakes don't reheat well — make all 6 at once and don't bother saving leftovers.
Notes & variations
- Nutrition varies with egg size, almond flour, cooking fat, toppings, and how evenly the batch is divided. Calculate from the packages if exact totals matter.
- Allergen check: this recipe contains eggs and almonds, while the current Snickerdoodle wrapper declares milk and peanuts.
- Banana-free variation: swap the banana for 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce + an extra 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Less sweet, lower carb, same texture.
- Oat flour or coconut flour absorbs liquid differently, so substitutions require adjusting texture and cook time.
