Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, 2 mashed well, plus 1 sliced and fried, to serve
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 30 gram Countdown Butter
- 4 Countdown Bacon and 2-4 tbsp maple syrup, to serve
Method
- 1Whisk eggs until thick and creamy. Beat in the mashed bananas until smooth, then beat some more. Stir in the baking powder.
- 2Heat a large frying pan. Add the butter to grease the pan, then pour off the excess into the batter.
- 3Ladle enough mixture – about 2-3 tbsp each – into the frying pan. Cook until the underside is dark golden and you can see bubbles on the upper surface, then carefully flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Set aside and keep warm while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.
- 4Serve with the bacon, fried banana and a little maple syrup.
Notes
- Makes 8-10 pancakes. - Bananas are a great source of fibre and natural sugar, which makes them the perfect snack. - The riper a banana is, the sweeter it is. - For a vegetarian version, try these pancakes with blueberries and yoghurt in place of bacon.
