½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
½ ripe banana
Add the egg and milk, then mix well.
1 large egg, 50 ml milk
Add protein powder, almond flour, and baking powder. Stir until completely combined with no dry spots.
1 scoop, 15 g almond flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder

Let cool slightly before adding toppings and enjoying straight from the bowl.

Notes

Tips for Success:

Use a bowl that's at least twice the size of your batter as the pancake will rise significantly.
Microwave timing may vary by 15-30 seconds depending on your microwave's power.
For best results, eat immediately after cooking.
Great topped with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
