3 Ingredient Flourless Banana Pancakes

 

banana-pancakes-3-1947There’s nothing better than pancakes for breakfast, but often they’re not the healthiest option – particularly once you top them with maple syrup and ice cream! These ones are totally different and are one of my favourite breakfasts – made with just oats, banana and eggs they almost couldn’t be any healthier.

They’ve got loads of low GI carbohydrates, fibre and protein so they really fill  you up and because the banana adds some delicious natural sweetness, you don’t really even need to top them with much except maybe a little honey.

Plus you can play around with different additions to make them a bit more interesting if you like (see ‘variations’).

Ingredients (serves 1, makes 2 pancakes):
1 small banana
1/2 cup rolled or quick oats
1 egg + 1 egg white

Method:

  • Mash banana in a small bowl, then add oats and eggs and mix well.
  • Heat a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Once hot, pour in pancake batter, dividing into two pancakes (do this in two separate batches if you have a smaller frypan). Cook for around 2 minutes or until mixture has set, then flip and cook for a further 1 minute or until cooked through.
  • Serve with yoghurt, honey, extra chopped fruit and a sprinkling of nuts, chia seeds or coconut.

Variations:

  • Banana blueberry – add 1/4 cup blueberries to mixture
  • Banana Coconut – add 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut
  • Fruit and nut – add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • High protein choc banana – add a scoop of chocolate protein powder

The Perfect Breakfast: Homemade Toasted Muesli

muesliMuesli is one of the best breakfasts going around. Its got plenty of low GI carbohydrates and fibre thanks to the oats and dried fruit, plus protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds – everything you want in a super healthy breakfast.

But while muesli tastes great, there’s something about the crunchiness of toasted muesli which is even better. Unfortunately, commercially made toasted muesli is usually full of added sugar, fat and salt – not exactly the basis of a healthy breakfast. But this doesn’t mean you have to go back to the raw stuff.

Making your own toasted muesli is not only amazingly satisfying, it also means you can add in all your favourite ingredients and you know exactly what’s in it. Plus, you can make up a big batch to last you a few weeks – an activity guaranteed to leave you feeling virtuous on a Sunday afternoon. [Read More…]
