I had a sad looking banana to use so I was looking for recipes that only use one banana. Most of what I found needed several, like for banana bread. I finally found a recipe for banana pancakes. They are super quick to throw together because there's hardly any measuring!
2 eggs
1 banana
1/2 cup oats (ground up, they say to use a magic bullet but I just used a food chopper thing)
1/4 cup applesauce
vanilla extract
cinnamon
As you can see, there's no flour or added sugar (although I do think my applesauce might have added sugar). I'm not necessarily calling these healthy but they are definitely healthier than some other pancake recipes I have made. They cook up pretty nicely too (but it does take a little bit to get the hang of it if you're new to pancakes. Usually, David does breakfast foods in our house so I still haven't mastered these).
They taste pretty good. The oats give them a weird texture but that's partially because I didn't grind them up as much as I could have. I definitely like regular pancakes better but if I wouldn't say no to these either. I'd probably give them a 7/10. David wouldn't try them but that's because of the bananas. My toddler LOVED them, even cold!
