This last year, we have been trying to eat more naturally, cutting out copious amounts of white flour and sugar from our daily diet, and trying to add variety to our fruits and veges. So when I saw this recipe floating around the internet and on Pinterest for pancakes with no flour and no sugar, I was intrigued. I was unsure how they would turn out, or if my family would even like them, so put off making them despite how easy they looked. But when my husband caught sight of the recipe, I knew we would have to try them.Two-ingredient Pancakes.
3 Bananas
5 Eggs
Coconut Oil for greasing the pan
Smush the bananas, beat in the eggs. Cook the pancakes over medium-high heat.
Ok, so that sounds easy enough. Well, the first time they didn't turn out very well. For some reason they didn't hold their shape, and were a crumpled pile of mush when the family ate them. But the flavor was delicious!! And my husband labeled them a success. So we tried them again and again.
Here's a few things we have learned...
*They do taste like bananas (yum!)
*The riper the banana, the better they turn out
*Greasing the pan between each set of pancakes helps them to flip properly.
*Sometimes they taste eggy, this is usually if the bananas haven't been smushed enough, or if there is not enough banana to egg.
*This is not an exact science, so try them a couple times before passing judgement on them.
While they are not my favorite (I love a good fluffy, bready pancake), my family loves them! Especially my boys. Just looking at the picture below, Whit was asking for pancakes for lunch :) They taste good, they are easy to make, and they are flour, dairy, nut, and sugar free. What's not to love! Oh and they taste great with a little butter and syrup.
