If you're anything like me, you've come home from work and made pancakes.
Or been watching tv and decided, hey, I'm going to make some pancakes.
Or looked in your fridge/cupboard and found items that make you say, "these would go great in some pancakes."
Basically I love pancakes.
They're so versatile. They're a delicious medium for most other types of food: add fruit or berries, add bacon, add candy, even add cheese.
The only problem is that the amount of wheat and sugar isn't so great for you.
I saw a recipe on Pinterest awhile back which suggested that banana pancakes could be made using only 2 ingredients.
I was skeptical.
But last weekend I finally got around to trying it out and the results were delicious.
It's really, really simple to make these.
You'll need:
(the pinterest recipe called for a 1 banana: 1 egg ratio but I was successful with the extra banana).
So that's 2 bananas and 1 egg.
Then:
Pre-heat a frying pan and if it's not non-stick then make sure it's sprayed or buttered.
Pour the banana mix in and let it cook until it can be flipped, just like a regular pancake.
The banana tastes so good when it starts to caramelize from the heat. You almost don't even need to add any syrup.
And the bonus is that at a total of only 285 calories for the entire batch of pancakes (mind you I got about 3-4 pancakes out of my mix), you're also getting a lot of protein from the egg and potassium from the banana.
Plus with the calories you save you can eat an entire pack of bacon to balance things out.
...right?
