Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium banana with a few brown spots
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp flour see notes
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • Blender or Fork
  • Frying pan or griddle

Method
 

  1. Mash the banana in a bowl until it is mostly smooth. You can use a fork or a blender for this step.
  2. Whisk the egg into the mashed banana until combined.
  3. Stir in the flour and cinnamon, if using, until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour small amounts of batter onto the hot surface to form pancakes. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

If you use a blender, the batter will be smoother. If you prefer a thicker pancake, you can reduce the flour slightly or use a slightly smaller banana. If you omit the flour, you will have a two-ingredient recipe, but the texture will be more like scrambled eggs.
