Healthy Recipe: easy and quick banana and egg pancakes

This pancake uses a few ingredients but packs in a lot of flavour.

Let me start by saying this - I love this pancake recipe! It is my go-to recipe when I am trying to pick my brain about what to eat or when my toddler refuses to eat whatever it is for breakfast. It is also my go-to recipe when I am running late and in no mood for eating cereal (it tastes like cardboard to me). The recipe is especially perfect when I have a bunch of bananas lying around, getting ripe and nobody wants to eat it. You see where I am going with this? It is MY recipe that I can make and eat anytime, no matter how I am feeling or what I have planned for the day. The best thing about this recipe is that it is very quick, simple and requires very few ingredients that you have in your house all the time. Plus it is a child tested and approved recipe, and it is the only food that my picky eater will actually ask for! And I don't mind making it multiple times a day because it is, after all, a very healthy meal. It has bananas - a powerhouse of potassium and very filling. Then it has eggs - a perfect ingredient for breakfasts as it will keep you full for long. Try this recipe and it will surely become your favourite breakfast too!

Serves: 2 people

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• Bananas, very ripe - 2
• Eggs -2
• Whole wheat flour - 1 tbsp
• Honey - to drizzle on the pancake
• Baking soda - a pinch
• Salt - a pinch
• Oil - to cook the pancakes

Method

• Cut the bananas in little pieces; the riper the banana, the better it is.
• Put the banana, crack the eggs and the whole wheat flour in a blender and blitz it till it all mixes into a batter.
• Pour the batter out into a bowl. Add the soda and salt and mix well.
• Whisk the batter to get the eggs to be a little fluffy. The more you whisk, the fluffier and light your pancakes will be.
• Heat a thick bottom skillet on high heat. Drizzle a little oil on the skillet and let it heat.
• Using a ladle, pour a little of the pancake batter, slowly, so that you form a perfect circle.
• Reduce the flame to a simmer and let it cook on one side before you flip it over.
• Once cooked on one side, flip the pancake over and cook it on the other side.
• Plate the cooked pancakes and drizzle a little honey on the pancakes and enjoy!
