Day 161: Two-ingredient Pancakes???

When I saw this pin I read the blog with my eyebrow raised in the most skeptical arch possible.  It sounds impossible.  And disgusting.  
So naturally, I thought I would give it a try!  The ingredient list is short and easy:

Ingredients: 
1 ripe banana
2 eggs

Mash banana, mix with eggs.  Spray pan with cooking spray and cook over low-medium heat for 30 seconds or so.  Flip, cook, eat.

Because the thought of eating something so bland just makes me sad, I added a couple dashes of cinnamon and a maybe 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla. I also made sure to really whip the mixture together to get as much air into the mix.  Many of the comments on the post were complaining that it was a mushy mess or didn't "fluff."  Which was how I expected mine to turn out as well. My first pancake was a bit overdone and not fluffy at all.  I let the pan get too hot and I don't think I used enough batter.  The second time around, I made a much larger "cake" with the remaining batter and it surprised me.  Not the taste so much- that was pretty much eggy and bland.  But it did fluff up well and look like a pancake.  Not pretty like the ones in the picture above (which I'm not entirely convinced isn't a photo of real pancakes) but passable. 

 I wouldn't call them pancakes so much as I would call them a good way to disguise eggs for picky eaters.  They would make a great baby food.  Charlie tolerated them, but he's been past bland baby foods for a while, so he wasn't overly thrilled.  If you have to (or for some reason choose to) live gluten free, this might be a good alternative to pancakes.  I'd suggest a little powdered sugar and some fresh berries to top them off!
