Healthy Wizard Pancakes

Wow, it's been wayyyy too long since I've posted. So many wonderful foodie things have happened!!! I tend to get too caught up in the experimentation and actual devouring of the food, leaving no real room for photography and blogging. I'll try to be better. I promise. *Crosses heart*

BUT HERE'S SOMETHING FUN!!!~1!1

Healthy Wizard Pancakes.
Guess what is in these pancakes?

Okay, I don't feel like playing a guessing game. Sorry. I'm just going to tell you. 

1 (ONE) BANANA
2 (TWO) EGGS
SOME (SOME?) CINNAMON

That's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you know why I included the "Wizard" in the title.

I had to taste him first to see if he was eligible to have his photo taken and be featured on the blog. WINNER!!!

All you do is mash up a banana. Add two eggs. Mash them up some more to get all the lumps out. Add some cinnamon. Put them in a pan with some oil or butter. Put them on a plate. Put syrup on them. Then eat them.

It's easy! And as long as you don't overdo it with the syrup...super healthy.

Try this. If you do, here are some tips:

WIZARD TIP #1: When mixing the ingredients, I used my immersion blender to ensure smoothness. Just make sure you mix them well enough.

WIZARD TIP #2: Don't make the pan very hot. I'd say medium low heat works well. In the photo above, I had the heat a little too high, and they sort of burned before they actually set, so I ended up with a dually crispy/soggy mess (which was still pretty delicious, actually).

WIZARD TIP #3: You have to make them small. There's not much binding these suckers together, so put a few Tablespoons in the pan at a time. Otherwise, you'll have trouble flipping them. They'll fall apart. And you'll be sad.

Next time, I'm going to try to add some protein powder or maybe smear them with some homemade nut butter.

(PS, I just want you to know, initially when I tried to type "nut butter", it came out as "butt butter". I laughed. Good thing I proof read)

If you guys try this, let me know how it goes!

'Til then, happy wizarding!
