Breakfast can be one of the hardest meals of the day for some to balance nutritious, delicious, not too heavy in the morning, easy enough on the go… you get the picture! Breakfast also happens to be my favorite meal of the day, which is why I love sharing tons of new recipes with y’all that make breakfast a teensy bit easier in your life!
Well, recently I’ve been going through a protein pancake phase. But sitting by the stove making pancakes can be too time consuming for a daily meal (at least for moi, because as much as I like breakfast, I also like those extra 10 minutes of sleep!).
To solve my breakfast conundrum (first world problems right here), I used my handy dandy new cast iron skillet (affil link) and decided to make a humongous BAKED protein pancake right in my skillet — a Skillet Protein Pancake!

You don’t necessarily need a cast iron skillet (affil link) to make this baby, but you do need a skillet that is oven-safe. Alternatively, I’m sure it would work in a casserole dish (like this one; affil like), but to get that more golden crust, it’s all about the cast iron skillet. Plus, did you know cooking in a cast iron skillet actually adds some iron to the food you’re eating? #truth!
Anywhooo… this recipe is super simple to make. You can throw everything into a blender (affil link) and then pour it into your skillet and bake. Be patient while it cooks… and then you have breakfast to GO for the entire week!
Alternatively, you can mash the bananas by hand, whisk your eggs together, add the rest of the ingredients and then pour into your skillet and GO. Either way, pretttyyyy darn simple and you have a high protein, filling breakfast for the week!
