Have any of you tried the banana pancake recipe going around that entails just 2 eggs and a large banana? Some add cinnamon or vanilla extract. Is this edible? lol

    I add oats, Greek yogurt and vanilla to mine. If you don't add the oats it has a crazy egg flavor.

    It is very edible!! I love this recipe and make it regularly for breakfast, since I'm not a fan of ripe bananas and I always end up at the grocery store when they've got bunches of yellow-bananas. I add a little spice & coconut oil usually. This morning, I mixed in some leftover kale & bean sprout salad. It was delicious and nice waker-upper.

    This is the recipe that I have tried, and it's DELICIOUS. The pancakes are filling and not too sweet. I don't put syrup on them to keep the calorie count down. Has lots of protein and some fiber.

    Yeah just banana and egg, not that good. More like a crepe to me. But I want to try adding oats

    That doesn't sound so great. Now I have made protein pancakes that are great (egg whites, oatmeal, vanilla extract, baking soda, cottage cheese) and top with cinnamon and any fruit you like (I prefer berries but bananas work well too).

    My daughter tried them (gluten free) & they were just too thin to be a pancake. Next time she added about 1/4 cup of gf flour mix, & I think they were ok.

    I eat these literally most days...1 tbsp of organic brown flour helps, or a pinch of baking soda :) the riper the banana the better the pancake. Add blueberries its nomcity!

    Yup I make them sometimes - they're not bad, IMO. And they definitely do the trick when I'm craving a sweeter breakfast.

    But regular pancakes aren't that bad for you, if you don't mind the carbs.

    I don't get it, I've tried them 3 times adding vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, other fruit and all I can taste is egg! Ewww it did not even come close to a pancake taste, even swimming in syrup. I just stick to a few "regular" homemade pancakes. Much better!

    Yup, those are good too. I still like the banana ones when I'm looking for a higher protein pancake fix though. Just a personal preference.
