Banana pancakes: A simple, nutritious breakfast boost
A healthy and nutritious breakfast for a child that won't return home for lunch - that's the dream of many parents. However, it often ends up being a sandwich and a snack bar. One practical idea is to prepare a larger batch of banana pancakes in the evening, making for a great addition to a lunchbox.
If your child eats breakfast at home before heading to school, you can also manage to prepare quick banana pancakes in the morning. They take only four minutes to cook. Moreover, this recipe requires just two ingredients.
Delicious and valuable breakfast for your child
Bananas and eggs form the perfect pair. Rich in potassium, magnesium, and carbohydrates, bananas swiftly replenish energy levels. They also stimulate the brain and improve mood due to their considerable amount of natural sugars.
Meanwhile, eggs provide a necessary portion of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The combination of these two ingredients ensures that the energy provided to the body endures for a longer period.
Banana pancakes without milk and flour
Making mini pancakes without any flour might seem impossible, yet this recipe works beautifully. Moreover, it's perfect for people on a gluten-free diet and is very easy to make. You don't even need flour substitutes. It's also suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
To prepare the pancake mix for two people, you need:
- 1 ripe banana,
- 2 eggs,
- a few drops of stevia,
- half a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Preparation
- Peel the banana and blend it with the eggs until smooth. Mix in the stevia and cinnamon. Instead of cinnamon, you can add a teaspoon of cocoa.
- Heat a pancake or crepe pan. Pour small portions of the batter onto the dry pan and fry for two minutes on one side, then the other.
Sweet breakfast toppings
If you're serving banana pancakes at home, you can enhance them with some delightful toppings like mascarpone cheese, peanut butter, or strawberry sauce. They also taste great with yoghurt or vanilla-flavoured fromage frais. You can drizzle them with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
