Lorna’s Banana Pancakes
My friend Lorna gave me this recipe for a pancakes that doesn't need any time for the batter to rest. While they don't rise like normal pancakes, they taste delicious and are ready really quickly. Another tasty way to use up older bananas is this tasty Banana Muffin recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium Banana Ripe – brown or spotty ones are best
- 1/8 whole Nutmeg Freshly grated
- 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 12 spray Spray oil
Instructions
- Mash the banana in a bowl or jug with a lip for easier pouring later. Add in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg and eggs and beat together to form the batter.
- Spray oil into a non-stick frying pan, warm up the pan then pour in the batter into pancake shapes and cook on one side until solid enough to flip. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through and golden.
Notes
When the kids mash the bananas they seem to eat more pancakes, they can make the whole recipe themselves (crack the egg into a separate cup so any shell pieces can be more easily removed). This can do one big pancake like an omelette or about 4-5 smaller ones for the kids. Swap cinnamon and nutmeg for mixed space when supplies are running low. You can optionally add some self-raising flour for a thicker batter, and leave it to rest for 15 minutes so they rise to be light and fluffy like normal pancakes and still taste of bananas.
