Banana pancakes: A quick, nutritious start to your child's day
A healthy and nutritious breakfast for your child that won't come back home uneaten is the dream of many parents. Usually, it ends up being just a sandwich and a snack bar. However, all it takes is making a larger batch of banana pancakes in the evening. It's one of the best ideas for a lunchbox set.
If your child has breakfast at home before going to school, you can quickly prepare banana pancakes in the morning as well. They cook in about four minutes. Moreover, this recipe requires only two ingredients.
Delicious and nutritious breakfast for your child
Bananas and eggs are the perfect pair. These fruits, full of potassium, magnesium, and carbohydrates, quickly replenish energy shortages. They stimulate the brain and improve mood thanks to their large amount of natural sugars.
On the other hand, eggs provide a necessary portion of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The combination of these two ingredients ensures that the energy supplied to the body lasts longer.
Banana pancakes without milk and flour
Making mini pancakes without any flour seems impossible, yet this recipe works. What's more, it's perfect for people on a gluten-free diet and is very easy to make. You don't even need flour substitutes. It is also suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
To prepare the batter for pancakes 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 into a smooth batter. Mix with stevia and cinnamon. Instead of cinnamon, you can add a teaspoon of cocoa.
- Heat a pancake or griddle pan. Pour small portions of the batter onto the dry pan and cook for two minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another two minutes on the other side.
Sweet breakfast additions
If you're serving banana pancakes at home, you can enhance them with creative toppings like mascarpone cheese, peanut butter, or strawberry puree. They also taste delicious with yogurt or cream cheese, such as vanilla-flavoured. You can drizzle them with honey or maple syrup.
