Healthy Pancakes

I don't know about any of you, but I'm one of those people who eats pints of ice cream all winter then attempts to lose all the weight 3 days before the pool opens. But not this time! I'm starting a couple months in advance ;) I've seen so many recipes for "healthy" pancakes but never really decided to try one until now! These are seriously so easy it's not even funny. Plus it's a great way to get all your macro nutrients in every morning! (by macro nutrients I mean protein, carbohydrates and fat)

All you NEED is 3 ingredients:
Eggs, Banana, and Baking Powder- and the baking powder isn't even necessary!

 Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 ripe banana

 Mash your banana til there's almost no chunks. It needs to be super smooth. You can do it in a real bowl, or Tupperware- I'm gonna assume your dish of choice will directly correlate with whether or not you are a college student.

 Crack those eggs in there. In the picture, you only see one egg yolk, and that's because I only used 1 whole egg plus the whites from the other (this cuts down on a good bit of fat). Two whole eggs will work fine though. Also throw in a pinch of baking powder. This isn't necessary, but it'll make your pancakes a little more "pancake-y."

 Cook your pancakes like you would any others. I only use ~2 Tbsp. batter per pancake.. That way I get to have like 8 of them. *Note* These stick to the pan badly. I used a non-stick pan but still needed to spray it with cooking spray.

 Voila! Pancakes! I topped these with sugar-free syrup and enjoyed!

 

 Just look how delicious that "massive" stack of pancakes looks! I have to say they don't taste exactly like cracker barrel hotcakes with real maple syrup (they're my favorite), but they're pretty darn good for healthy food! I don't like eggs (I know, I'm inhuman), but I love these! They're so moist you totally don't even need syrup, but it's a positive addition (Isn't it always?).

Banana Pancakes

Yields: 8 "Silver-Dollar" Pancakes

What you Need:

1 Banana             Pinch of Baking Powder

2 Eggs 

Other ingredients that could be added:

Handful of berries (Blueberries are delicious)                 Cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.

Mini Chocolate Chips (Chocolate Banana, yum!)           2 Tbsp. Peanut Butter

2 Tbsp. Applesauce                                                      Anything you like in pancakes!

1. Mash banana

2. Thoroughly mix in egg and baking powder

3. Mix in other additional ingredients you might want (I strongly suggest it)

4. Cook in medium-low heated skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray until browned on both sides. Note: These do not "bubble" like regular pancakes when they're ready to flip. I'd say they only take +/- 1 minute per side.

5. Devour aggressively.. or enjoy slowly. You decide.
