3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes

What's better on Sunday morning than some pancakes! Well pancakes are good any day, but Sundays are my only days I have time in the morning to make them. I wanted a simple quick pancake recipe that didn't involve a lot of ingredients and that was still healthy.

Now these can be a little tricky to make, it took me a few try's before I finally got down the technique on how to make them. I'm hoping my helpful hints here will help you to avoid the mistakes I made, and you won't have to throw away food. 

So lets begin!

INGREDIENTS

- 2 large eggs 

- 1 large banana

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

-Plus what ever toppings you like, I use flax seed and a half tablespoon of honey. 

(Yep that's it, that is all you will need) 

DIRECTIONS

- Put the baking powder in a bowl, cut up the banana and put it in the bowl. Mash it up with a fork until there are no clumps left. 

- Add the two eggs to the banana, wisk all together for about 2 minutes until well combined. 

- Turn the burner on to medium heat, I like to spary my pan with canola oil spray. But you may use butter if you like. Put the pan on the burner so it can warm up. 

- After it's warm (flick water on it and if it sizzles it's ready) I use a 1/4 measuring cup to poor my batter in the pan. I found this much batter works best, too little batter and the pancakes burn quick, and too much batter it just doesn't cook right. 

- Once it's poured on, WATCH closely do NOT walk away. They cook fast, once it starts to bubble (about 30 seconds) it needs to be flipped. I like to use two spatulas, I start with one and slid it under a bit and then come in with the other one and slid it all the way under then flip. They are a little flimsy and can be difficult to flip but DON'T wait too long or it will burn.    

- Once it's flipped cook the other side for only about 15 seconds then it's done. 

- You should get about 8 small pancakes, and they are so yummy!! It defiantly chases away my pancake craving.   

- Be sure to re-spray the pan before you do the next pancake it helps to keep them from burning. 

HELPFUL HINTS: It does get smokey but it's okay just open a window, you can also add cinnamon to the batter or even 1/4 cup of oats to make them a little thicker, if you do add oats you'll want to add 1/3 cup apple sauce too. 

Most of the pancakes will be really dark, don't throw them away they still taste fine. Take a nibble first and if you don't like it then throw it away, and try again! 

Please leave a comment if you try this recipe, or if you have also done this recipe before and wanna share some more helpful hints. I would love some more variations to these pancakes!
