Banana "Pancakes"

I admit, I went into this recipe with a little bit of skepticism.

After watching the video on this site, I thought "whatever".  I always thought "dieting websites" have limited recipes that actually turn out tasty. The best recipe I've ever tried from a dieting website was eggplant pasta.  You take the eggplant, cut it into thin strips and that's your pasta.  You can pair it with a sauce of your choice - very tasty.

Anyway, I must concede snobbery on this recipe.  While I can't really call them pancakes so much as I'd call them crepe-like, I will say that these were yummy and filling.  Not bad for one banana and two eggs.

Recipe:
1 banana
2 eggs
 (my twists)
1/4th tsp of pumpkin spice or cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla

Since John Juan was at my house today, I doubled the recipe.
We tried the recipe twice; once with pumpkin spice and once with cinnamon.  Both were really good.  John Juan had a hard time deciding but settled with the cinnamon.  


I'm a little lazy when it comes to not wanting to break out the food processor (and then the subsequent clean-up), so I chose to throw the bananas in a zip lock and then "Hulk Smash!".

After smashing the bananas, I tossed in the eggs, vanilla, and spice of choice and called for the help of John Juan. (Even though he was in the midst of his workout, I had to have crazy hair man mix it up.) :)

I poured the mix in the skillet.  At this point in time, I have to admit to you that if it wasn't for my "Perfect Pancake" skillet, I would never have a pretty pancake.  But this time, I used a regular skillet because these are meant to be small and thin.  

So far so good?

Oh Wow! They flipped!  hurray! 

Here's the pumpkin.  Admittedly, I walked away for a minute and crisped a few.  
They take about 1 minute on each side.  I had my oven dial set on 5.

The cinnamon came out a little lighter.

The real test was the John Juan seal of approval.  He tried them both and said "Oh wow! I really like those!".  So there you have it, a die hard carnivore gave his thumbs up on these little treats.  

I would say you could eat them without syrup, but I had some maple so we had a little of that on the side.  For best results, eat them warm.

A healthy substitute for pancakes.
