Egg and banana "pancakes"

I'm super excited to share this with you guys. I've seen this method a few places and finally decided I had to try it myself. And this, is ground breaking. It has reinvented the pancake. Reinvented healthy breakfast. I'm not joking.


Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 banana
1/2 tsp. cinnamon*
1/2 tsp. vanilla*
*optional

THAT'S IT!
I know. I was skeptical at first too.

Steps:
1. Assemble your ingredients.
2. Mash banana. I used a fork. You can use a blender, whatever works for you.
3. Crack the eggs and mix them with the mashed banana. If you're using vanilla and/or cinnamon, add those now too.
4. Once it's all nice and mixed, preheat a skillet and either use cooking spray or a light brushing of oil. Pour your batter into your pan (I used about 1/8 cup for each).
5. Flip your "pancakes" once they're easily flipped. Mine took about 4 minutes on each side.
6. Stack 'em and eat 'em. You're done!

These suckers are 126 calories for half the recipe (4 "pancakes"). As these had vanilla and cinnamon, I didn't feel the need to use syrup, but obviously that would add a few calories.

Also, cost wise, these are super budget friendly. The entire recipe cost a total of $.79 (Well, the banana and eggs.) So while you're figuring out how to spend your saved money, leave a comment below!

  2. Awh! Thanks Amy!! I'm glad you approve of the blog lovely ;)
    I looked in my cupboards and since my dad ALWAYS puts cinnamon in pancakes I knew I had to add that and vanilla just seemed logical to me.
