Gingerbread protein pancakes

📋 Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 scoop vanilla or cinnamon protein powder
• 1 tsp gingerbread spice (or mixed spice)
• Optional: 1 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp oil or cooking spray
• Topping: 2–3 tbsp quark (or Greek yogurt) + a handful of pomegranate seeds (for that festive look!)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1. Add the banana, eggs, protein powder, gingerbread spice, and optional cocoa to a blender or mixing bowl.
2. 2. Blend until smooth.
3. 3. Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil or cooking spray.
4. 4. Cook small pancakes from the batter; flip them when bubbles appear on the surface.
5. 5. Stack the pancakes on a plate to create a “Christmas Stack.”
6. 6. Mix some quark with protein powder and a splash of water until you get a glaze-like texture. Spoon this over the pancake stack and finish with pomegranate seeds for a festive touch.
