Ingredients 

For strawberry banana topping:

1 cup sliced strawberries

1 banana, sliced

2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce

For pancakes:

½ cup + ⅛ cup protein pancake mix

½ cup + ⅛ cup water

Cinnamon, to taste

2 Tbsp natural peanut butter, melted

How to make it 

To make topping: Combine ½ cup of sliced strawberries, ¼ of a banana, and the applesauce in a food processor. Process until smooth. Fold in remaining ½ cup of sliced strawberries and remaining banana slices.

Make enough pancake batter for 5-7 pancakes as per box directions.

Pour mix onto a hot griddle, laying sliced bananas on top of the uncooked side as soon as you drop the batter. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Cook until bubbles form and pop, and cooked side is golden brown. Flip, and cook until second side is golden brown.

Place pancakes on a plate, drizzle with melted peanut butter, and top with fruit topping.
