A very deceptive and extremely delicious breakfast for little ones (and not only) who refuse to eat bananas or eggs. These pancakes are a real revelation! For almost a year, I have been thinking about trying them, but I always postponed it. Recently, I decided to give them a chance, having a ripe banana waiting to be used. So I got to work, and the result was worth it.
The first step is to prepare your ingredients. You need a well-ripened banana, two eggs, and optionally, a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar to add a touch of flavor. In a small bowl, slice the banana as thinly as possible and then crack the eggs on top. Using a mixer, beat the mixture well until it becomes homogeneous, frothy, and thicker than classic pancake batter. It is important to achieve an airy texture, which will make the pancakes fluffy and delicious.
Next, prepare a pan that you will grease with a little oil and heat over low heat. It is essential to control the temperature; otherwise, the pancakes can easily burn. Using a ladle, pour a layer of the mixture into the pan, being careful not to put too much so as not to make the pancakes too large. A technique I use is to lift the pan about an inch above the heat source and shake it gently, so the batter spreads evenly.
Wait until you notice that the batter no longer trembles and starts to form small bubbles on the surface. That is the moment to flip the pancake with a spatula. It cooks on the other side until it becomes golden and fluffy. These pancakes are wonderful served with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or jam. I chose to serve them with acacia jelly, and the combination was simply fantastic!
It is important to mention that if you use a larger pan, the pancakes may spread too much and take on the shape of crepes. I used a small pan with a diameter of 14 cm, and the result was perfect, both in size and thickness. If you prefer, you can turn this recipe into crepes by using a wider pan. These pancakes are just as delicious and can be filled with vanilla cream and banana slices.
In conclusion, this recipe is not only simple but also versatile, perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast. You can adapt the ingredients according to your preferences, adding flavors or sweeteners to taste. Regardless of your choice, the result will always please the little ones (and the big ones too)! Enjoy!
