2-Ingredient Pancakes

2-Ingredient Pancakes topped with Almond Butter with Banana Slices

Yes, that's right. Pancakes can be made using only 2 ingredients - eggs & bananas!
I'm not sure how I came across this recipe online, but I'm so glad I found it.  It seems that this recipe has been floating around the blogosphere for at least a couple of years. I've visited lots of blogs that have the recipe for these pancakes so I don't know who came up with the idea first. At any rate, I'm just so happy that someone was genius enough to create these babies. :)

Most of the recipes I've seen calls for 1 banana and 2 eggs, but I wanted to add flaxseed meal to mine...and so, I did. These are so simple to make. I put all of my ingredients into the blender and blended until smooth. I then poured the mixture into a bowl and then scooped out the desired amount (about 2 tablespoons) to make a pancake. I cooked the pancakes on medium-low heat using coconut oil. Delish!

2-Ingredient+ Pancake Ingredients
1 Egg
1 Banana
1 Tbs Flaxseed Meal
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
dash of cinnamon (a little less than 1/8 tsp)
*This recipe yields about 5 mini pancakes. *

A few notes:

• The pancakes have sort of a mushy texture to me. I can definitely taste the banana and a hint of coconut (because I used the coconut oil). 
• If you don't have coconut oil, you can use butter or olive oil.
• You may also make the mixture by mashing the banana in a bowl and then combining it with a whisked egg.
• Be careful when flipping the pancakes. Wait until the middle of the pancakes begin to bubble before flipping.
• Be patient as these pancakes take a little more time to cook than normal pancakes.
• Additional ingredients that may be added: pumpkin pie spice, blueberries...whatever you like.
• Top with nut butter, honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. I used raw almond butter on mine because I thought the pancakes were sweet enough without adding any other sweetener.
• The next time I make these pancakes, I plan to use 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal to see if it changes the texture a little bit. 

I'm also planning to use sweet potatoes instead of the banana just to switch it up a bit. I think those will be very tasty as well. I L-O-V-E sweet potatoes. :)

If you try these, let me know your thoughts.
