Allie On: Banana and Egg Pancakes

I finally caved and decided to try these pancakes.

They are made of 1 banana and 2 eggs. And they're pancakes. Of course I was interested!

I grew up eating a ton of Bisquick pancakes and waffles but those had actual things in them like baking powder and stuff. These are au natural. Gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian or whatever -free is hot right now.

Anywho, back to the cakes. 

I first saw this recipe on Taralynn McNitt's blog, which I am a big big fan of. It's all about health. So I just read it and look at the pictures. Not. Actually. Cook any of the recipes. Until now. 

So let's get started. 

First things first, here are the lovely ingredients.

A nice banaynay and some eggs. You'll need only 2.

This is the traditional recipe, but I'm not so traditional. So I wanted to amp it up a bit. I grabbed some cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Then you position them around your apartment and take pictures like they're in a Christian rock band. Or 98 degrees.

 

Start choppin' your naners.

 

Then you put the pieces in your nice big bowl.

 So take out your little rubber spatula from the dollar section in Target. 

Aaaannnndd....

Suddenly, you realize that rubber spatulas are not the best banana smashers. And you know not to add 'banana smashing' to your resume because you obviously can't figure it out.

I'm so glad we're doing this together.

Add your nice shiny egg. Then rinse and repeat. 

Just kidding. Add your other egg then ferociously stir this concoction.

While you ferocisously stir...coat your pan in some good ol' butter.

Because butter is everything.

Is butter a carb?

And while you're cooking, pour yourself a glass of milk for some tasty nourishment. Pour the milk into a margarita glass because it is closest to your cooking station.

But hey, it's Friday.

Gotta go crazy sometime in your life. 

Next, look at the photos you've taken on your phone and cry because you stink at photography. Not even an instagram filter can save you.

Then, realize you're hungry and stop crying. 

 

 Your mixture should look like this. 

 Make sure to spice up your life.

Then you're good to go. Pour em' on there. 

And there you have it. They really are quite neat. I would have never thought to do something like this, so props to whomever created this. 

It didn't take too long and with finals coming up I needed something easy.

I put some berries and peanut butter on mine. The PB was delicious on them. I wished I had put more on but I didn't want to get up and walk to the kitchen.

Recipe:

-1 banana

-2 eggs

Mush up the bananas then add the eggs. Mix well until kinda frothy. There will still be clumps, but the clumps kind of hold everything together. Don't blend the mixture because it will become really runny and hard to handle. Grease a pan and pour out the 'batter' and cook like normal pancakes.

Enjoy!
