Healthy Banana Pancakes

It's been so long since my last post! A whole 10 days! This probably upsets me more than it upsets anyone that may read this, ha! It's been a busy time and I keep doing lots of stuff and think, I need to blog about that! And then it never happens..

So I'm super happy to be writing this one! I've made these before and everyone that has ever eaten them have loved them as much as me. They're super yummy and really good for you too! This recipe has been floating around the internet for a while, but is often featured on super fitness sites because of how high in protein these pancakes are. But I think these are something that everyone should be aware of. They definitely do not replace the holy pancake, but they're a great alternative as pancakes are pretty bad for you! They're really easy to make too, which is a bonus.

To start, you'll need 2 bananas and 2 eggs. This will feed 2 people (or 1 hungry person!) and you can then add any toppings that you like. You can mix things into the pancake mixture, such as fruit or chocolate chips, but then cooking them becomes a little more difficult. I like to stick with toppings, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't explore!

*To note, the original recipe states 1 banana, 2 eggs per person. However, I'm a banana lover and I really don't think it needs the extra egg!

First mash your bananas. You need to make sure there are no big lumps, small ones are fine though. It will have the consistency of baby food. You don't have to pretend they look good, because they really don't.

Then, add the two eggs and mix everything together until combined.

This is what you'll be left with and is the batter of your pancakes. This is where you would add anything in. You could add some cinnamon without compromising the consistency and they'd still be easy enough to cook.

Heat some oil in a pan (or use frylight, I had run out! :( ) and then spoon on some mixture. Smaller ones tends to cook better and are easier to flip! These are particularly difficult because of how watery the mixture is. I find two tablespoons of pancake mixture spread out with the back of a spoon makes cute small pancakes. The best way to flip them is to wait until the bottom is a dark brown colour, shimmy a slotted turner under half the pancake, pick it up and then lay the edge hanging off back down in the pan and then slide the other end off.

My favourite toppings are fruit with honey, but anything works! And no matter your camera skills pancakes can not look bad in pictures. Trust me. I tried. Layer them up and nothing beats them.

Tell me if you try them and how much you love them, because I know you will!
