- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
- Mash the Bananas: In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Whisk in the eggs, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and slightly fluffy.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the pan.
