Ingredients
  

Pancakes
  • 1 medium banana with a few brown spots
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp flour see notes
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • Blender or Fork
  • Frying pan or Griddle

Method
 

  1. Mash the banana in a bowl until it is mostly smooth, or blend it until smooth.
  2. Whisk the egg into the mashed banana until combined.
  3. Stir in the flour and cinnamon, if using, until just mixed. Do not overmix the batter.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour small amounts of batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you use a blender, the batter will be thinner. If you mash by hand, the texture will be chunkier. You can substitute whole wheat flour for white flour.
