Banana Pancakes

This idea comes from Edible Harmony's Two Ingredient Flourless Pancakes.

The original recipe is just two ingredients: banana and egg, and works very well for a quick breakfast or snack.  For additional nutritional impact I like to add a few extra ingredients:  LSA*, chia seed and blueberries.  As this is quite easy to make I often made this for breakfast on a recent camping holiday. You can mash and mix the ingredients with a fork but to speed things up I recommend using a potato masher.

Banana Pancakes

Ingredients

1 banana

2 eggs

1 tablespoon LSA*
1 tablespoon chia seed

A handful of blueberries - fresh or frozen

In a bowl mash the banana.  Add two eggs and mix well.  Add the LSA, chia seed and blueberries and stir to mix through.  Let the mixture stand for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some of the egg and thicken the mixture.  Pour mixture into a hot pan and cook until the edges begin to firm up and bubbles start to appear.  Turn and cook on the other side.  I recommend keeping the pancake size small, about the size of your hand, so that they are easy to turn without breaking. Serves one.

The natural sweetness of the banana makes these pancakes sweet enough so that you don't need to add any syrup.

*LSA is a mix of ground linseed, sunflower seed and almonds.
