When I originally tried the 2 ingredient pancakes I wasn’t super excited. I think my expectations were set too high because the recipe said “pancakes.”
I decided to add some PB2 and vanilla to the recipe and I liked the pancakes much more! Plus the extra protein from the PB2 helped keep me full longer.
The good thing about these pancakes is they are very low in points. I made four pancakes and it was only 1 Freestyle point!

This is also an easy recipe to make. Those are my favorite! I actually made them one morning before work.
I’m not usually that ambitious before work, but I was out of the ingredients for my breakfast sandwich.
Personally, I think using a more ripe banana makes this taste better. It’s also easier to mash up the banana.
The PB2 powdered peanut butter has become one of my favorite ingredients to experiment with.
I can’t even tell a difference when I use it in recipes. Plus it’s great because it cuts out a lot of the fat.
These PB2 pancakes are similar to regular pancakes when you cook them. They will start to show little bubbles when it is time to flip.
I used a couple tablespoons of sugar free syrup which didn’t add any points. These PB2 pancakes are also great with a bowl of fresh fruit. Check out the recipe below!

April 13, 2018 at 2:42 pmI like the banana but I made them this week with pumpkin instead. I added a packet of equal and some cinnamon. I like them much better this way.

August 11, 2018 at 1:05 pmthis looks really good but is the banana taste strong? not a fan…

August 11, 2018 at 7:32 pmI’m not a huge fan of the banana pancakes, that’s why I added PB2 and vanilla. I think it helps hide the taste of the banana

August 25, 2018 at 8:44 pmCurious as to why you mixed the PB2 instead of just putting the powder straight in. Would that mess up the texture? It seems like it would help it have a “floury” base .

October 25, 2018 at 11:18 amWhen I figured the point value on my WW app it figured 2 points for the 2 Tablespoons of PB powder. Confused

October 25, 2018 at 11:26 amMake sure you type in “PB2 powdered peanut butter” it is only 1 point for two tablespoons.

April 14, 2019 at 10:38 amKind of confused why this would be listed under a keto recipe. Bananas are 30 carbs, which uses all my carbs for one meal.

April 14, 2019 at 3:15 pmI definitely don’t have this listed as a low carb recipe. I only post recipes that are weight watchers friendly. I’m not sure if it was on a list or something published by someone else?
