A few days ago, I’m scrolling through instagram and call out to Anthony, my partner to ask him what we should have for breakfast. And as I’m scrolling, I come to this amazing yet exceedingly simple recipe of banana and egg pancakes by @blissedhappiness and Anthony calls back “pancakes”. I realise in that moment that it’s a perfect opportunity to give it a try. And I want to say that not only is it simple but it is super quick and utterly easy. I added a little bicarbonate of soda to make them ultra fluffy and a little salt to balance the sweet taste. I also made a berry compote using frozen berries and served it with yoghurt and a little honey. You can add whatever you like. You might add some coconut shavings or toasted seeds. Be free and playful with whatever is in your pantry.

Bananas are high in sugar so it’s always a good idea to eat them just before exercise or for breakfast because they will fuel you while giving you much needed vitamin B6. B6 is responsible for producing red blood cells, metabolising carbohydrates and fats and turning them into energy. It also helps metabolise amino acids. It helps detoxify the liver and kidney and is one of the ways we can maintain a healthy nervous system. Bananas are also known for their potassium which is great for your heart and your blood pressure. Always try to buy organic bananas.

Recipe

3 eggs

2 small bananas

1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Coconut oil for cooking

Pinch of salt

Frozen berries

Yoghurt

Raw honey

Finely mash the bananas to make a paste and then beat the eggs into the banana until smooth. Add the salt and the bicarbonate of soda.

Heat a little coconut oil in a frying pan and spoon your pancake mixture. It doesn’t take long, just a few minutes to make a pancake. Be sure to cook on both sides. I heated the oven to store the already cooked pancakes while cooking the rest.

While the pancakes are cooking, in a separate pan, heat your frozen berries. No need to add anything, just heat them stirring regularly. The heat will create a syrupy mixture . The berries add tartness to the sweetness of the pancakes. I drizzle honey on afterwards because I don’t like to cook my honey. The goodness is in raw honey.

I added sheep’s yoghurt and a drizzle of honey. But you can add whatever you like. These pancakes are versatile and so easy you can make them in a few minutes before work.
