Low cal, gluten free, low carb PANCAKES (yes, pancakes!!)
I discovered these babies about 2 months ago and I eat them either for breakfast or when I fancy a post-dinner treat and only have a few cals left in my allowance on here...
Going to keep it simple as possible as there is nothing worse than enormous, tough recipes when you have little time/energy to make something!
This recipe does me for about 4 med. pancakes (med. sized = size of my hand, fingers spread)
- 2 eggs, beaten
-1 banana (med), mushed up well with a fork
-1/4 teaspoon baking powder (so they get a bit fluffy!)
Mix all ingredients together well; less lumps the better. I do this in a liquidiser but pulse it just a teeny bit! If you overdo it with the blades and it's runny, it doesn't form a good sturdy pancake.
Heat 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil in frying pan until running, drain out excess oil, pour mix in to centre of pan.
Put a saucepan lid over the pancake to trap the heat/air in so it circulates and cooks the top a bit
Flip after 30secs and cook the other side (saucepan lid off)
Check both sides look a bit golden, no gloopy raw looking stuff
Serve with any of the below (my favourites below but options are endless):
Blueberries, raspberries, strawbs, 0% fat greek Yog (love Fage), crushed nuts, dried fruits (apricots, raisins etc) organic nut butter, drizzle of natural honey, blob of organic dark choc (melted or solid, your call... 85%+ cocoa is best as less sugar than other varieties).
YUM!!! Enjoy....

thanks sounds good I'll be sure to try these0

I've seen these recipes and been super curious but never tried them... Does it taste overtly banana-y?
(I love bananas but when cooked or in stuff it often reminds me of penicillin medicine I had to take as a kid which makes me want to gag lol)0 -
Erm... I'd say you can taste the banana but it's not too strong. I made these for a pal who wasn't huge on banana flavoured things (e.g. milkshakes) and I added a tbsp of smooth peanut butter and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon in the mixture and she scoffed all the ones I made for her and has been making them herself since so maybe try that0

They are a little banana-y, but mostly you get the egg texture. I've made these before with a bit of almond flour and I honestly eat them with butter on top. So tasty. If you used a flavorful topping (jam, peanut butter, etc), you probably would only barely notice the bananas.
Edit to add: I usually use frozen overripe bananas, because I am bad at using up fresh ones so I have a lot of frozen. Overripe bananas taste especially strong, I think, so if you used fresh ones the flavor would be even less noticeable than it is when I make mine.0 -
