Instructions
  1. Add egg whites, sweetener, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Using a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, mix until the egg whites are frothy.
  2. Mash up bananas and add to the bowl along with flour. Mix using regular mixer attachments. A few small lumps of banana throughout is completely acceptable.
  3. Spray whatever surface you plan to cook the batter on with cooking spray. This same recipe also works on waffles, and doesn’t seem to require more spray than normal. Place an equal amount of batter in circles that aren’t touching.
  4. Cook until you start to see a browning along the base. Flip each pancake over carefully: the batter is a bit thinner – and these weigh less – than a regular pancake batter. When done, remove to a cooling rack to keep them from getting soggy, or serve immediately with sugar free syrup (and light butter, if you like).
  5. Reapply spray to the surface until the batter is used up. Stack them as high as you want: they’re only 43 calories each!
  6. If you’re making waffles, check to make sure they’re done enough for your tastes. Reapply cooking spray between each batch.
Recipe Notes

This is what the pancakes looked like when I made them with oats, milk, and bananas. It’s lumpy, and those lumps aren’t going away. While I now realize I could have fixed the lumpiness by blitzing the oats in a spice grinder, the texture was also off because they never crisped up. Do yourself a favor and make the recipe like this (with egg whites and no oats) instead.
