Super healthy 2-ingredient pancakes

Its pancake day!!!

Which means.... Healthy pancakes!

When I typed in 'healthy pancakes' into google lots of fuddy duddy recipes came up asking for buckwheat flour, liquid stevia, egg whites etc. 
I almost gave up until I found this...

Requiring just two ingredients bananas and eggs,its the perfect way to still enjoy pancakes on a budget, without ruining your diet.

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you they taste exactly like the ones you are used to. Because they don't. I too was a little apprehensive that they would taste like a weird banana omelette, but was pleasantly surprised to discover that they are just like a light fluffy pancake, slightly sweeter than a normal one, with a slight banana-ry tinge to the flavour.

Recipe (makes 4-5): 
Ingredients:
1 medium-large banana- the riper the better - 10p
2 eggs - 23p
a generous pinch of baking powder (optional)- it just makes it fluffier
butter or oil to grease the frying pan

Method:

  • Mash the banana up until there are almost no lumps remaining
  • Add the eggs and whisk up to combine and get lots of air into the mixture
  • Add the baking powder at this point too if you are using it
  • Heat up your frying pan on a medium heat
  • Plop in a little butter or oil (I used butter) and heat through
  • Add a generous tablespoon of the mixture to the frying pan and tip it to allow the mixture to spread
  • Keep an eye on it at this point as it can burn easily
  • When it starts to bubble on top, flip it over and cook the other side (about a minute or two each side)
  • Put it on a plate, add your favourite pancake fillings (i had peanut butter and honey, and berries and honey) and enjoy!
