Natural Pancakes (For The Pintester Movement 2.0)


Hi everyone!  Since the last Pintester Movement that Sonja Foust hosted was so much fun, I jumped on the opportunity to participate in the second one.  This time around I decided to try out these Natural two ingredient pancakes that was already tested on Pintester.  I figured this would be perfect, since I am trying to eat healthier and I always just happen to have bananas and eggs on hand.

I love making food smile before I devour it
Two eggs and one banana is seriously all it takes.  It easy made enough pancakes for two people.  All you have to do is smush the banana in a bowl and add in the two eggs.  Make sure to smash up the banana first, it makes the process a whole lot easier.

When the batter is ready, it doesn't look that great.  I still had a few banana chunks.  It also cooks at a slightly lower temperature than normal pancakes do.
Looks quite a bit like baby vomit at this point
They do look a lot better when they are cooked.  By looks alone they can pass for pancakes.


The taste was also pretty good.  I added some of this wonderful butter pecan syrup I found on top of it and they were perfect.  My boyfriend even liked him.  The only thing that got to me was the texture.  It was like eating a pancake flavored omelet.  Still, they were not bad at all, and much quicker to make than regular pancakes.

  2. My daughter requests (nay, demands) pancakes every weekend, and I usually throw in a banana for good measure. Maybe I can fool her with these and save a step or five :)

    1. It would be a great way to trick her with something a little healthier.

  4. Your pancakes turned out really nice looking. I almost tried this recipe! I might try to add fruit or chocolate chips to give the pancakes a little more heft. We'll see how it goes.

    1. That is a really good idea. I think I will add in some dried cranberries next time.

  7. Your presentation is so pretty! Mine always sort of looks like i slopped it into the plate. ( That's probably because I sort of did, now that I think about it...)
