Ingredients- 1 ripe banana
- 1 fresh egg
- Pinch of cinnamon powder (to taste)
- Olive oil or butter, as needed for cooking
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s prepare the star ingredient: the banana! Peel one ripe banana, place it in a zip-top bag, and mash it thoroughly with your hands. This method is incredibly convenient and minimizes cleanup.
Step 2
Mash the banana until it’s mostly smooth but still retains some texture. Leaving small lumps will add a pleasant chewiness and more pronounced banana flavor to your pancakes.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the batter. In a bowl, combine the mashed banana, one fresh egg, and a pinch of cinnamon powder. Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth. The egg acts as the binder, replacing the role of flour in this recipe.
Step 4
Lightly grease a preheated non-stick skillet with a little olive oil or butter over low heat. Pour portions of the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook until the edges look set and the underside is golden brown, then carefully flip.
Step 5
As the pancakes cook on low heat, you’ll notice small bubbles forming on the surface. This indicates they are ready to be flipped. Cook the second side for about 2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. This low and slow cooking method ensures they are perfectly tender inside.
Step 6
These pancakes are delicious on their own, but feel free to get creative with toppings! Add fresh fruits like berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt for an extra special treat.
