Gluten-free pancakes: The two‑ingredient breakfast revolution

These pancakes are low-calorie, gluten-free, and high in protein, making them ideal for those aiming to reduce cholesterol levels, maintain healthy blood sugar, or shed a few pounds.

Ingredients:

    
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 large eggs
• Additions as desired: blueberries, yoghurt, cinnamon

Method:

        
1. Start by peeling the banana and mashing it in a bowl until smooth without large lumps.
2. In a separate bowl, crack the two large eggs and beat them lightly. Combine the eggs with the mashed banana, mixing thoroughly.
3. Heat a pan over medium heat, adding a little butter or vegetable oil if preferred.
4. Once the pan is hot, pour about two tablespoons of the pancake batter into the pan. Cook on one side for about a minute until the edges start to brown.
5. Gently flip the pancake and cook for another minute or two until the other side is golden.

This two-ingredient pancake recipe is the perfect solution for those who wish to enjoy healthy desserts without sacrificing their favourite flavours. It is quick and easy to prepare and is also packed with health benefits thanks to the two superfoods: banana and eggs.

Bananas are high in fibre, which supports gut health and prevents constipation. They also contain pectin, which can alleviate bloating. Bananas are a great source of potassium, helping to regulate blood pressure and potentially reducing the risk of stroke and heart disease.

Eggs are rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Research suggests that consuming up to one egg per day does not increase the risk of heart disease in healthy individuals. Eggs are high in protein, helping to keep you feeling full for longer.

Pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and easily reheated in the microwave. While they may not taste as good as freshly prepared ones, they still make a delicious snack. If you'd like the pancakes to more closely resemble crepes, add a few extra tablespoons of batter and spread it evenly over the pan's surface.

This recipe is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy healthy, low-calorie meals without sacrificing their favourite flavours. Enhance them with your favourite toppings, such as granola, natural yoghurt, or fruits, for added flavour.
