2 minute banana pancakes


This is one of the quickest and easiest recipes I have come across, and so scrumptious! The pancakes have that slight caramelised banana taste to them and they are delicious drenched with syrup. You can add coconut to the recipe for a tropical taste or add cinnamon and nutmeg for a warm, spicy taste or just have them plain.

Ingredients:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 banana
  • 1 Tbl coconut or 1 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg (optional)

Directions:
  • Put the egg and banana in bowl and blend until smooth (I used my stick blender)
  • Heat a pan and add a teaspoon of oil. Pour the mixture into little rounds all over the pan, wait till the top starts to bubble and then flip and cook the other side. They can a bit tricky to flip so use a nice flat spatula. Don't worry if they are quite a dark brown, that is just the banana carmelising!
  • Serve with syrup and cream!
The wonderful thing about this recipe is that you can eat a whole plate of pancakes without feeling guilty! I did!

Keep it cooking,

Breakfast Ice-cream


Surprise your kids tomorrow morning by letting them have ice-cream for breakfast! This ice-cream requires no churning and is ready in 5 minutes. You can make the vanilla or chocolate versions of this recipe, both are delicious. The fact that it is super healthy is one more reason why you should try this as soon as possible!

Ingredients:
  • 2 bananas cut up and frozen overnight, slightly over ripe bananas work best but if you can't find then just add a little sugar to the recipe
  • 2 Tbl milk
  • 1 Tbl vanilla essence or 1 Tbl cocoa

 Directions:
  • Place all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and zap till it's creamy like soft-serve. If you have a hand blender or your blender doesn't seem to handle it then blend the bananas in smaller batches
  • Add sprinkles on for an extra treat and enjoy!

So that's all there is to it! Guilt free ice-cream for breakfast!

Keep it cooking,
