How To Make A 5-Minute Banana Pancake in a Mug
A recent study showed that eating a protein-rich egg white breakfast made with Egg Beaters® Original, instead of toaster pastries, helped young women eat 178 fewer calories throughout the day, increase their daily protein intake by 14 grams and improve key nutrients in their diets. Now, you can have a healthy, protein filled breakfast while eating your breakfast favorite out of a mug!
Instead of using whole eggs, I used Egg Beaters® Original for this 5-Minute Banana Pancake in a mug recipe, which created a very light, pillowy pancake that was rich in protein. They also made prep and clean-up super easy. If you are busy, just make the batter in advance and when you’re ready, pour it in a mug, microwave it and voilà! Your breakfast favorite will be at your fingertips in a matter of minutes – 3 to be exact.
