Bananas reborn: Quick and healthy pancakes with just two ingredients
A simple recipe for healthy pancakes with two ingredients is gaining popularity online. Their undeniable advantage is that you can use ripe bananas, which are often less enjoyable to eat as a snack. Before you start frying, handling the ingredients is crucial.
When you wake up in the morning craving something sweet and filling, nothing satisfies that desire better than a plate of pancakes. They are versatile, easy to prepare, and delicious, and you can serve them with various toppings. However, if you want to simplify the task further and minimize washing up, it's worth knowing a recipe that only requires two key ingredients.
How to make pancakes with 2 ingredients
- 2 bananas,
- 1 egg,
- A small piece of butter or oil for frying.
Preparation
- Peel two bananas and mash them with a fork while still in the peel.
- Transfer the mashed bananas to a bowl and mash them further with a fork.
- In a separate bowl, separate the egg white from the yolk and add the yolk to the bananas.
- Mix thoroughly with a fork until the ingredients are combined.
- Beat the egg white until stiff and slowly fold it into the banana-egg mixture.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small piece of butter or oil.
- When the butter melts, place three tablespoons of the pancake mixture onto the pan. Ensure the mixture is spread out and not sticking together.
- Fry until you notice characteristic bubbles on the pancakes, which takes a few minutes.
- Flip the pancakes over and fry for the same amount of time.
- After frying, decorate the 2-ingredient banana pancakes according to your preference. You can use chocolate spread, raspberries, strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, or other fruits.
Ripe bananas - don't throw them away, use them
Ripe bananas are an excellent ingredient for many dishes, especially when they are too soft to eat raw. Bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to batters, also allowing you to reduce the amount of sugar needed. Ripe bananas are also great in bakes, such as chocolate banana bread. This is a popular dessert that will surely impress guests at any party.
Another idea for using ripe bananas is making smoothies. Simply blend them with natural yogurt and additives such as mint or chocolate. You can also freeze bananas and mix them with milk to create delicious banana ice cream.
