    what's so wrong with regular pancakes that they need to be turned into "pancakes"? it's just flour (or a flour sub if your GF) egg and milk as the base.

    Was wondering this myself. Certainly isn't a calorie thing (bananas though) so...?

    Either way, not in for banana omelettes.

    That's pretty much what I've heard about them.

    I haven't personally tried them.

    1 banana
    3 eggs
    2 tbsp coconut flour OR choc whey protein
    1/4 tsp baking powder
    dash of cinnamon
    splah of vanilla

    Put all in a blender until it's creamy smooth... then make just like regular pancakes! So good.

    Ok... This makes more sense!!!

    Ummm. Isnt that a banana omlette? Or scrambled eggs and banana? Its NOT pancakes. Unless you use cauliflower. Then you can call it whatever the hell you want. Pizza, ice cream, unicorn MUFFinz etc.

    I had the exact same problem OP!! They were like scrambled banana eggs for me ... not yummy in the slightest :noway:

    But... I added 1 scoop of my vanilla Lean Fit protein powder and they were a MUCH better consistency!

    I think I added 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 whole banana, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, a splash of vanilla extract and a dash of cinnamon & mixed them all together. It was SOOO delicious, I got my mom hooked on them & she didn't even realize they weren't "traditional" pancakes :happy:

    Just tried this!! They are yummy and my 4 year old agrees. However they cook very quickly and can burn easily - tip for future makers. Not sure if favourite pancakes but they're healthy pancakes :) x

    I blend two eggs and a banana in the blender then i put mine in this thing i bought called the Xexpress. (its awesome ahahah). I can't flip an omelette or pancake so it works great. I enjoy this all the time! Its great with some organic maple syrup. It took me a few tries to get it right though so keep trying!

    Because, and I'm speculating here because there is no way in hell that I am trying either one, that would suck even worse than mixing bananas and eggs. Bleh! :sick:

    I was thinking about trying some, but the more I thought about it the more I went off the idea. I love bananas, but I'm not keen on banana-flavoured things (is that weird? It's probably weird :P). I did end up making some non-banana pancakes by using:

    35g rolled oats
    1/4 cup low fat soft cheese
    1 egg
    Vanilla extract

    Blended until smooth and then put them in the pan like pancakes. They tasted pretty good with some strawberries! :)
    But then, actual pancakes aren't so bad calorie-wise anyway, so I'll probably just stick to them :P

    I see what you're hoping to achieve. Flour has a startling amount of calories so you're hoping for the pancake effect without the calories, or the carbs if you have reasons to cut those.
    Still, I think I'll plan for regular pancakes with bananas and then go for a hike or have a salad for lunch. Sounds much less likely to waste perfectly good fruit and eggs and make a mess of my skillet.

    Just made these for the umpteenth time.....so healthy.....no wheat flour

    Combine:

    3 large bananas mashed well
    6 beaten eggs

    Mix together & then add to banana/egg mix:

    1 cup oatmeal ground (I put in magic bullet)
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon cardamon
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking powder

    Heat griddle to 375
    Cook as per regular pancakes

    Awesome for gluten free
