Banana Pancakes (aka 2-ingredient pancakes)

Recipe adapted from: http://ourbestbites.com/2014/02/2-ingredient-pancakes/

A fun gluten-free breakfast to make for the kids! Ben, Elizabeth, and Emma all approved of this recipe. 

Ingredients:

1 large banana (it should yield about 1/3-1/2 cup, mashed)

2 eggs

1/8 tsp baking powder (optional but recommended)

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)

1 tsp ground flaxseed (optional)

2 Tbsp PB2 (optional)

2 - 4 Tbsp quick oats

Instructions:

1.  Heat a skillet on the stovetop or countertop griddle to medium heat. 

2. While pan is heating, mash banana well and then mix in eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, flaxseed,  PB2, and oats or put all the ingredients in a blender and pulse a few times until smooth and mixed well. You can blend the oats with it or stir them in after.

3. When pan is hot (water droplets should sizzle), spray pan lightly with non-stick spray.  Pour 2 tablespoons of batter at a time and cook until bottom appears set (30-60 seconds) flip with spatula and cook additional minute or less. 

4. Serve warm with almond butter, real maple syrup or applesauce, and fresh fruit on the side.  I recommend having a green smoothie to accompany this breakfast!

*Yield: 8-10 4″ pancakes.
