Banana Pancakes!

20/10/2012: I turned two eggs and a banana into banana pancakes! Healthy and yummy!! So yummy! <3 But unfortunately they're not that filling...
They're really easy. Get a ripe banana. Like REALLY ripe. I had to wait for so long to make these because the bananas were taking their time in riping. I like getting bananas that have a lot A LOT of black spots on them. The more, the better because then they are sweeter! And if you use them here you can fully taste them in the pancakes. Also a riper banana is easier to mash.

Okay and then next, you chop it up and put the pieces in a bowl. To make it easy, you can just peel one of the banana skin thingos back and then chop the banana up while its still held in the rest of the skin.

Then you mash it up with a fork. If you don't do this first, it'll get really hard to mix it in with the egg then you'll just get like..... an omelette with banana pieces........ew.

And then add in a bit of egg white and use the fork to whisk it together, it'll make this like frothy sort of mixture. Then add the rest of the first egg in and whisk it in. Then add the second egg. I find it easier to mix in the eggs just a little bit at a time because if not the liquid makes it hard for you to mix up the banana in it.

So yeh. Then you have the mixture, it's semi thick but not as thick as pancake mix, because mainly its egg obviously... so it's harder to flip and stuff, make sure its on a low heat otherwise it burns. And get some spray cooking oil.

But yeh, it's really good. It's not like an omelette because the banana when mashed acts like the flour, making it fluffy and stuff.

And you don't need any flavouring because you have the banana flavour so it's super healthy.

But then again, it's not that great in keeping you full. I wonder if there are any other fruits you can do this with. Probably not. I'm not sure, and too scared to try it out.
