Low Carb Banana Pancakes

Low Carb Banana Pancakes

This recipe was adapted from a GENIUS recipe I saw on Pinterest. Did you know you can make pancakes with only 2 ingredients?? 1 banana and 1 egg. That's it! So easy and so healthy! I've seen many versions of this recipe, so here is how I've adapted it. Now, I LOVE pancakes, but they just have so much flour and sugar that they're always way high in calories! (And that's before you add the syrup). And you can find lower-calories recipes out there, but they make like....1 pancake. Who eats just one pancake?? Well, this recipe makes 4 good-sized (4-5 inch) pancakes, and you can eat them ALL!! :-D

Ingredients:
1 medium ripe banana
1 egg
1 T flour
1 tsp vanilla
a few dashes of cinnamon
stevia for sweetness (optional)

1/2 c blackberries for garnish

Directions:

Mash banana with a fork (usually works better if the banana is already a bit ripe.) add egg and beat with a hand mixer (very important so there's no lumps!) Add flour, vanilla and cinnamon and fire up the griddle! Pour onto medium heat griddle in 4-5 inch pancakes, and turn over when you start to see bubbles on the surface. Mash blackberries into a pseudo chunky syrup and pour over hot pancakes. Enjoy!!
