Banana Pancakes

 

here is the recipe that I promised last night at the meeting...

Ummm…Seriously Dying!! Two Ingredient Pancakes…Gluten Free, Flourless, & Full of Protein

Are you kidding me?! This recipe is ridiculous. A real LOL. Like, I’m never.ever.ever. making real pancakes again.

Lately this mashed banana + egg recipe has been blowing up the fitness/health blogs [ one lovely reader also recommended this to me + Blogilates + The Fitness Dish ]. For ****s & giggles, I added my own touches: a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, some ground flaxseed, a bit of vanilla, & a dash of cinnamon. But honestly, just the two measly ingredients of bananas & egg are perfection.

Ok. Let’s talk syrup. Buying low-sugar syrup does not equal healthy. In fact, filling your bod with fake sugars is bloating, makes you crave/eat more, & is full of disgusting, sick-o chemicals. If you love syrup on silver dollllllas, choose all-natural maple syrup & use it sparingly. Drenching them until they’re wilted is gross. I mean, is it necessary to have a side of pancakes with your syrup? Nope! Use a little & move on.

Happy Tuesday!

The Skinny, Skinny Pancake

{ Serves 2-3 }

1 mashed, super ripe banana

2 eggs

Oil for the pan [ EVOO or coconut oil is my pref ]

My additions: a bit of pumpkin pie spice, 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed [ this really, really holds the mixture together ], a bit of vanilla, & a dash of cinnamon.

Optional: all-natural maple syrup + berries

+ Directions: mash your banana with a fork. In another bowl whisk eggs. Mix eggs & banana together. Add my additions. Put your choice of oil on a pan [ low-medium heat ]. Add a silver dollar-sized amount to the pan. Let the cake set for 30 seconds [ or when the center bubbles ] & flip it! Enjoy with berries & a bit of syrup. Option: if you’re pressed for time use a blender to mix your ingredients.

 

Thanks Jo - I'm trying this tomorrow for breakfast.  Sounds like a winner to me!

I added flaxseed the last time and they stuck together better -enjoy -JO
