    No. I've heard of spectacular failures. I suspect the banana must be whipped in to a creamy froth before adding the eggs. Otherwise it would come out looking like scrambled banana. With egg.

    Thank you! Will save me from letting my bananas get "very ripe" as the recipe calls for.

    Hubby loves his bananas, which he makes in to smoothies. If we are out of bananas, he tells me we are out of groceries. When they start to get over-ripe, he peels them, puts them in a ziploc, and puts them in the freezer. They make a great frozen smoothie that way.

    I have a great protein pancake recipe that I eat at least a couple of times a week. Smoosh one small-medium ripe banana in a bowl. Add 1 Tbsp peanut butter (low added sugar kind) and mix well. In a separate bowl, whip 2 eggs, or 1 egg and 1 egg's worth of egg whites. Add the well-mixed eggs to the banana-peanut butter mixture. Add a tiny dash of vanilla and a shake of cinnamon. Mix thoroughly. Cook on a griddle about 5 mins each side. Top with fresh fruit or frozen fruit defrosted in the microwave.

    I just made these pancakes today! LOVED loved loved them! Yes, you need to smash the banana to a pretty fine texture. Mine happened to be really ripe. I put the partially-smashed banana, two eggs, 1/8 tsp of baking powder and 1/8 tsp of cinnamon into my smoothie maker to mix the batter. I found the recipe here:

    I also added 1 TBLS of PB2, but didn't really taste it, so next time I'll probably leave it out.

    I do it all the time! I use two egg whites though. I blend about 1/4 c of oats to make a flour, add the banana, and eggs, blend it up, & pour in on the skittle! Yummy with peanut butter to!

    They work way better if you use green bananas. Ripe bananas don't work very well.

    I make them all the time. I blend it in my magic bullet to get it frothy. It tastes slightly less like banana omelette if you either put some cinnamon in it or add some vanilla protein powder.

    Good idea i do that with most berries and fruit but never thought of doing it with banana.

    We eat them all the time. Hubby mixes it up in the blender with a bit of cinnamon. He cooks them small so they are easier said to flip.
    We eat them with yogurt and fruit.

    YES!! They work perfectly for me & it's a nice treat every now & then

    1 med over-ripe banana mashed
    1 jumbo egg - just beaten with a fork

    (ok, I added a pinch of salt & 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract & a pinch of baking powder)

    Mash banana. Mix together. Spray pan w/ non-stick spray. Over med-low heat, ladle small-med cakes into pan. WALK AWAY & let it do its thing, I leave it for nearly 10 min. Once the edges start browning/lifting from pan, gently flip for another minute or two. The key is to cook slow...oh, and don't make them too big or you'll end up w/ a mess trying to flip them

    I've also been adding chopped walnuts lately...I usually drizzle w/ real maple syrup & a shake of cinnamon.

    Put them in a blender. It all comes out great. Cook like a regular pancake. They are very moist.

    Thanks everyone!! I think adding oats or baking powder and a little vanilla will make them more to my liking!

    I've had multiple failures. I'll have to try a few of the suggestions above, though!

    I made a protein pancake that was wonderful using protein powder, cinnamon, 2 egg whites and vanilla. AMAZING!

    I tried it once, and it was delish! I used one banana, one egg, and a little PB2. It made three mini pancakes. I'd definitely make it again.

    I'm surprised ppl don't like these! I LOVE them and make them almost every morning. Topped with a dollop of plain greek yogurt and a little maple syrup, they keep me full for a long time! They taste exactly like French toast to me.
