Flourless Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
• 1/4 cup oats (optional for added texture)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (for fluffiness)
• A pinch of salt (enhances flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for aroma)
• Butter or oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
   • Add the eggs, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
   • If desired, stir in oats for a bit of texture.
2. Heat the Pan:
   • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   • Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Pour small scoops of batter (about 2-3 tablespoons each) onto the skillet. Keep them small to make flipping easier.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
   • Gently flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm.
   • Top with your favorite additions: fresh fruits, nuts, maple syrup, or yogurt.

Notes:

• The oats are optional but help add structure, making the pancakes easier to flip.
• Adjust sweetness with toppings, as the pancakes rely on the natural sweetness of the bananas.
• For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder to the batter.

Enjoy your light, fluffy, and guilt-free breakfast! 🥞
