The Return of the 2-Ingredient Pancake

2/14/2016

0 Comments

 
Happy Valentine's Day of 2016! It's hard to believe that it's been over TWO YEARS since I've written a blog post. I'm back, I'm registered,  and I'm ready to play.  I'll update you on what I've been doing during my absence, but for now, let's start with a light topic: breakfast!

I wrote about the 2-ingredient pancake two years ago. I wish I could say that I engineered this recipe myself, but this has been popular for some time among healthy-living bloggers. This is gluten-free and can potentially be dairy-free depending on your choice of toppings or if you avoid butter.

I love this breakfast. While it's a sweet and filling creation for the morning, you can also enjoy this for lunch or dinner.

With only two core ingredients, this pancake is very easy to make. All I do is mash my banana well with a fork (if you're using a frozen banana, microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl for 10-20 seconds, drain the excess fluid, then mash), add two eggs, and whisk/mix well.

Mashed Banana!
I like to add cinnamon as an extra ingredient. I mix it in with my banana/egg mixture. I heat butter or coconut oil over medium heat and pour the mixture onto the pan to create one gigantic pancake. You can make multiple small pancakes, too!

Wait at least five minutes before flipping the pancake. If you flip too early, it falls apart. If you wait too long, it burns. If you try to flip and you can tell it's going to fall apart, wait 1-2 more minutes.

Once you flip, your pancake should be done in about 3-4 minutes. Put it on a plate and add whatever toppings you like. Toppings that I almost always use (as pictured above) include:
  • 1 big spoonful of natural peanut butter
  • A drizzle of pure maple syrup
  • 1 big spoonful of plain yogurt
  • A final dusting of cinnamon 

Recipe: 2-Ingredient Pancake

​Ingredients:
  • 1 banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil or butter
  • Toppings of your choice (see above)

Directions:
  1. Mash banana  well with fork in bowl. Add eggs and whisk/mix well with banana.
  2. Add cinnamon and mix well (optional).
  3. Heat oil or butter over medium heat. 
  4. Pour mixture into pan. Let mixture sit for 5-7 minutes, occasionally using spatula to lift up edges of pancake. 
  5. Once mixture sets at the bottom, carefully flip pancake using spatula. 
  6. Let pancake cook on other side for 3-4 minutes or until lightly brown/cooked through. 
  7. Put pancake on plate, add toppings, and enjoy!
