Sunday Morning can mean one thing only: Banana Pancakes!

Good Morning people!

Sunday morning can mean one thing only. It's banana pancake time.

My partner (Ordinary Boy, O.B) and I like to keep fit and O.B follows Chris Jones (a personal trainer who posts on you tube). A few months ago O.B watched Chris Jones' banana pancake video on you tube and that was that. We threw our ordinary pancake recipe out of the window and now we use this one every time. Ours is very slightly different from Chris Jones' version (we don't use the sweetener) but his video is where we got our inspiration from.

Here's our version of the recipe:

Ingredients (creates 6-8 medium sized pancakes):

• 3 bananas
• 2 egg whites
• 2 eggs
• 30g oats
• 1tsp of cinnamon

Method

1. Cut your bananas up and then mash them in a large bowl.
2. Break two eggs into the mashed up banana.
3. Separate two further eggs and add just the whites to the mixture.
4. Measure and add 30g of oats to the mixture and mix slightly. 
5. Add 1 or tsp of cinnamon to the mixture and mix slightly.
6. Pour the mixture into a food processor and blend until smooth.
7. At this stage we pour the mixture into a measuring jug as we find it easier to pour out into the frying pans.
8. Put a little oil/cooking spray into a frying pan and heat until it's warm.
9. Pour a little of the mixture into the frying pan and sprinkle a few cranberries on the top. We add our cranberries this way as it ensures each pancakes receives and even number of them.
10. Cook the pancake until little bubbles start forming on the top and then get ready to show off your flipping skills! I am rubbish at flipping so in our house this is O.B's job!
11. Cook the other side for a few seconds, this side should not need as long as the first side did, so keep a close eye on it.
12. Put the pancake in the oven on a low temperature (we have the oven at 100 degrees celsius) to keep it warm while you cook the rest. We find it handy to have two small frying pans and cook two pancakes at a time. I am sure you'll find a method that works best for you.
13. Serve! Because these pancakes are made from bananas they are very tasty without any toppings but for us banana pancakes are a real treat so we go all out and have honey, maple syrup, choc chips, sultanas and pecan nuts on the table to top the pancakes off with. Nom nom. A perfect breakfast if you have a busy day ahead of you; you won't need to eat until late in the afternoon!

Enjoy
